Advocaat is a traditional Dutch drink with murky origins, possibly evolving from attempts to recreate an avocado-based beverage. Named after the Dutch word for 'lawyer,' it was popular among legal professionals who believed the drink eased public speaking. The recipe consists of egg yolks, sugar, and spirits like brandy or vodka, resulting in a rich, custard-like texture. Variations in flavors can be added, and it can be made without alcohol for those who prefer a non-alcoholic option. Making Advocaat requires a careful approach to achieve its creamy consistency, akin to eggnog.
The origins of Advocaat are intriguing, with theories ranging from 17th-century Dutch settlers trying to replicate an avocado drink but using eggs and brandy instead.
Advocaat is traditionally made with eggs, sugar, and brandy or vodka, creating a rich and creamy texture reminiscent of eggnog or custard.
