Advocaat

Advocaat is a liqueur from the Netherlands, but in Germany, they call it Eierlikör. It is known to be thick and creamy and tastes like custard, similar to eggnog.

The majority of the time, brandy serves as the base, and egg yolks and a sizable amount of granulated sugar are then added. For added complexity, some producers choose to add extra spices to the blend. According to legend, the Advocaat may simply be the Dutch term for avocado with a new name. Also thought to have originated in Suriname and Recife, the original Advocaat recipe calls for avocados. Due to a lack of avocados in the Netherlands, avocaat with eggs became popular.

Advocaat is available in several English-speaking nations. Although it typically has a 15% ABV, some regions of Europe make it 40-proof. Although some people choose to mix it to make cocktails, you can drink it by yourself. Examples like Snowball and Fluffy Duck are excellent.
