Fleur de Lis Vodka Puts City's Symbol Behind Bars


by M.D. Dupuy

As the local liquor trend pushes on, the same people that brought us King Cake flavored vodka are staying in the race for the top with their latest NOLA themed product. Although their new Fleur de Lis vodka is manufacted across the pond, native New Orleanian and Lucky Player Vodka co-owner Alfredo Diaz says the product embodies the spirit of the city, inside and outside of its festive bottle. 


King Cake Vodka to Be Available Thursday in New Orleans, Producer Says


Right around the time that the wait for King Cake was over, New Orleans was forced to question whether we had in fact backtracked to that pre-Christmas season of waiting called Advent instead of moving ahead to the time of pagan revelry, as we were required to keep vigil for yet another treat. The word went out to the masses that King Cake Vodka was on its way. In the early days, a few lucky players got to try the spirit,. But the rest were left to keep offering Jello shots at early Carnival parties. According to the founder of the company who produces the spirit, however, the wait will be over this week.
