The Spirit of New Orleans Dating back to the 18th century, pralines have been synonymous with the French Quarter, and their taste is uniquely linked to New Orleans. These decadent candies were originally inspired in France at the Château of Vaux-le Vicomte by the chef of the minister to Louis XIII and Louis XIV of France, Marshal du Plessis-Praslin, from whom pralines later got their name. Many legends surround the invention of this sweet confection, yet to this day it is unknown whether it was intentional or an accident. Regardless, this sweet tradition was introduced to Louisiana by way of French settlers who sold these rich candies throughout the French Quarter, and competed for the title of best praline in the city. During the 19th century, New Orleans chefs adapted the recipe slightly to include pecans, native to the region, and give the candy a taste unique to New Orleans. Praline Pecan Liqueur features this same unique taste in a smooth, rich, mixable liqueur that is a great addition to many cocktails and recipes. Praline’s distinct pecan flavor tastes excellent on the rocks, simply with milk, mixed in coffee, or in a variety of signature cocktails. The Pearl of Praline combines Praline, coconut liqueur, cream, and a touch of nutmeg for a tasty after dinner treat. For something that warms you up, try a Praline Sundown which simply combines Praline and hot chocolate.
