Cocktails with Advocaat liqueur
Advocaat is a traditional Dutch egg liqueur made from egg yolks, sugar and a spirit base — thick and creamy.
ABV14–18%
Substitutes for Advocaat liqueur
Egg yolk is what makes it itself, and no liqueur without it has the custard weight. A cream liqueur matches the thickness and misses the flavor; a yolk beaten with sugar and a little brandy is the honest home version.
Often confused with
Cream liqueur
Cream liqueurs are made on dairy cream; advocaat is made on egg yolks. Advocaat is thicker and custardy — it coats the glass and will not thin out in a shaker the way a cream liqueur does.
Description
The EU standard sets a floor of 140 grams of egg yolk per liter, which is what separates a real advocaat from a cream liqueur wearing the name.
Storage
It contains egg, so once opened keep it refrigerated and use by the label’s date.
