Pecans Make Great Beverages Too

The Great Experiment
Pecans can go into a lot of things you wouldn’t expect, including drinks! Starbucks, the great American coffee company, has already unveiled to the rest of the world the power of pecan lattes, but it’s not just coffee that benefits from a surprising helping of pecans. Right here in Louisiana, for example, where pecans have always been easy to grow, lots of locals in the state understand just how much pecans can add to beverages, with some people even going so far as to make soft drinks for locals to enjoy!
Getting Stronger
But some people take things a step further and see just that pecans can do for people with stronger beverage preferences. Pecans have now been successfully used in craft beer brewing, for some very interesting, smaller batches that anyone can enjoy. And if you’re looking for something stronger still, there are distillers in the southern United States who have taken it upon themselves to take one of the south’s great natural treats, and see what happens when it is applied to spirits. Even pecan vodka exists for the curious, making for a distinct, all natural, hard beverage that’s great on its own or mixed. Of course, pecan gifts are still always a great first option, and if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place!
