Mardi Gras

Fat Tuesday (a poor translation for Mardi Gras,) a sister concept of New Orleans Original Daiquiris, began in 1984 with the opening of the first retail unit in Atlanta, Georgia. Fat Tuesday units generally have fun food items to complement the featured frozen specialty drinks. The Fat Tuesday concept has grown into a national phenomenon with over 20 retail units in nine states servicing such markets as Key West, Phoenix, Austin, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Miami

The drink menu is substantial...

There are 7 Fat Tuesday stores in Florida, and this one is in Coconut Grove. The daiquiri that is my favorite is to the immediate left of the hostess: Mango! Only in Miami! Oh so good!
