Vodka-infused whipped cream brand Whipshots has introduced several limited-edition flavors, and King Cake Whipshots, the brand's newest creation, pays tribute to New Orleans as the host of the 2025 Super Bowl. This adult treat inspired by the classic Mardi Gras King Cake boasts sweet spiced notes that are ready to enhance everything from desserts and coffee beverages to cocktails.
To celebrate this limited-time vodka-infused whipped cream flavor from the brand co-founded by Cardi B, Fat Tuesday locations in New Orleans and Las Vegas made an event out of "Cardi Gras" by serving Whipshots on top of its signature frozen cocktails and created a signature Queen Cake combo.
Whipshots' portfolio includes varieties to align with every flavor preference, including fresh and fruity, or rich and decadent—meaning fans of Pumpkin Spice, Caramel or Mocha are likely to enjoy King Cake Whipshots.
