Advocaat (Egg Liqueur)

Advocaat, also known as egg liqueur, is a traditional creamy spirit made from egg yolks, sugar, and alcohol, most commonly brandy, rum, or neutral spirit, sometimes with added vanilla or cream. The result is a thick, rich drink with a gentle sweetness and a golden-yellow colour. It is served neat as a digestif, added to coffee, or used in desserts and pastries. In the kitchen, it works well in cream fillings, tiramisu, ice cream, puddings, and sponge cakes. It is a favourite ingredient in festive Christmas baking. The best-known varieties worldwide include Dutch Advocaat and German Eierlikör.
