Wikipedia Article About Advocaat on Wikipedia Advocaat is a rich and creamy Dutch liqueur made from a blend of egg yolks, aromatic spirits, sugar, brandy, and vanilla. It has a smooth, somewhat bland taste, and contains 15% alcohol (proof 30). The drink's origins are with Dutch settlers in South America. There, they mixed a thick beverage using the whipped flesh of avocados. When they attempted to duplicate the drink in Holland, egg yolk was substituted for the exotic fruit. The name advocaat is derived from Dutch words for the avocado fruit. * Homemade Advocaat Recipe
