Advocaat / Dutch Egg Liqueur

Advocaat is a liqueur from the Netherlands made by mixing egg yolks and alcohol. It’s often compared to eggnog but is much boozier. It’s a very simple drink to make and will last a couple of months in the fridge, so it’s a perfect Christmas gift.

Enjoy this rich liqueur, by itself, in baked goods, or as part of a cocktail like a bombardino calimero.
