Since 1850. The Spirit of New Orleans. Pralines have been a New Orleans tradition since the French first brought the candy to the Crescent City in the 18th Century. Pralines remain today the essential confection identified with the city. In fact, you could say, they are part of the soul of New Orleans. Historically, these rich brown sugar and pecan treats were sold by Creole praline ladies in the French Quarter who carried them in baskets perched upon their heads, as they strolled though the Vieux Carre, singing their tuneful sales pitch, praw-leens, frais praw-leens! This original Praline Pecan Liqueur captures that rich praline flavor - the Spirit of New Orleans. Sip Praline with your coffee after a meal on the patio, or make a nutty Russian with it. Praline is also an ideal ingredient for desserts or just served over ice cream - then close your eyes and listen for the tuneful cry of the praline lady, praw-leens, frais praw-leens! 21% alc by vol (42 proof).
