Advocaat (German Eierlikor) image

Rich, thick and creamy homemade egg liqueur! Advocaat is traditionally served in a wide brimmed cocktail glass with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder, and eaten with a spoon. It is also served as an aperitif or digestif. The best known cocktail using Advocaat is the popular Snowball recipe #351501, and also the Bombardino recipe #467186 which is a popular apres-ski coffee beverage in the Italian Alps. Advocaat is also used as a topping for waffles, and as an ingredient for several desserts such as pastries and ice cream. Delicious!
