Ever been to Pat O’Brien’s in the French Quarter? It’s great. Overrun with tourists, but still cool. While you are there, try their alligator bites. A true NOLA classic dish that may sound strange, but really tasty! Don’t you just love New Orleans.
This is where this legendary drink was born. Learn more about it’s history here.

Most passion fruit juice /or concentrate you will find on the web may taste bitter. Best thing to use in place of it is just plain old Welches Passion Fruit Juice you find in the supermarket. It’s not pure passion fruit as it’s blended with a little grape juice as well. But it does the job & it tastes great!
Sounds great, Ed!! Thanks for letting us know!! Best, Kris & Wesley
Where would one get “marching cherries”?
