Cocktails with Advocaat liqueur
Advocaat is a traditional Dutch egg liqueur made from egg yolks, sugar and a spirit base — thick and creamy.

Substitutes for Advocaat liqueur
Homemade advocaat
Whisk 80 g of egg yolks (four or five) with 80 g of sugar over simmering water until it reaches 62 °C. Off the heat, stir in 100 ml of brandy or vodka, then chill. It makes about 230 ml, sweeter than most bottles.
Cream liqueur
Thinner and tastes of milk rather than custard. One for one, the drink loses the eggy richness, and citrus juice can make a cream liqueur curdle.
Description
EU rules require at least 140 grams of egg yolk per liter in anything sold as advocaat. That is what separates it from a cream liqueur.
Storage
It contains egg, so once opened keep it refrigerated and use by the label’s date.
