How to Make Advocaat - The Homemade Dutch Holiday Liqueur (Alternative to Eggnog)
Homemade Advocaat. Thanksgiving, Christmas and winter holiday liqueurs or alcoholic drinks or cocktails are often egg-based, but this may be the best of the bunch. This one is certainly less popular than it's English counterpart, Eggnog, at least in the States. It's a welcome change from the standards, however.
There are commercially bottled pre-made versions available, but you're never going to beat making it from scratch. It's easy to master and doesn't take too long. From cracking eggs to bottling will only take you about 15-20 minutes.
It can be sipped straight, with a little whipped cream and/or nutmeg, or mixed to make some cocktails (which will be coming soon). So, a bottle of it will have a few applications depending on you and your guests' tastes. It's a great winter cocktail that's perfect for the holidays. It tastes like it belongs in a ski lodge or just wrapped in a sweater, warming your bones by a fire.
There's no need to use a $35 bottle of brandy on this one. Feel free to grab an E&J or Paul Masson, which is what I used in the video. It's going to serve you well without going overboard on a fancy brandy.
If you're squeamish about the vanilla bean seeds, and want to use the Vanilla Extract, please note that the Solmonson's in their book, 12 Bottle Bar, opt for the extract route and instead of adding to the mixture before the brandy, they add the Vanilla Extract when they pull the mixture off the heat, just before bottling it. It won't have the little seeds that make it look like vanilla bean ice cream and one could argue that the vanilla flavor profile could be altered, but if you want to go that route, who am I to stop you. I prefer the Vanilla Bean and the seeds, but if you're whipping this together with the ingredients you have laying around the house, you'll be fine with Vanilla Extract. Either way, you'll have a delicious and decadent holiday drink that's a welcome change of pace from the usual holiday fare. Cheers, or as the Dutch say, Proost!
Recipe:
10 Egg Yolks
1.5 cup (355ml) Brandy
1.3 cup (315ml) Sugar
0.5 tsp (2.5ml) Salt
1 Vanilla Bean (2 tsp Vanilla Extract)
Separate the Yolks from the Whites. Add the Salt and Sugar to the Yolks. Split the Vanilla Bean, scrape out the seeds and add it to Yolks. Thoroughly whisk it up. Slowly stir in the Brandy. Transfer the mixture to a pot, add the Vanilla Bean Pods turn it on low heat and stir until the mixture coats the back of your spoon. Then transfer the pot to an ice bath until the surface of the pot is cool to the touch. Strain out the mixture, in particular, the Vanilla Bean Pods. Bottle the Advocaat and store it in the refrigerator.
Yield: 3 Cups (700ml)

Is Advocaat the UK's eggnog?
I love eggnog, apparently, the UK does not. Luckily I have had several people suggest two different drinks to try. One from the dutch, Advocaat, and one that seems to be very British, Snowball. So on this episode of Americans in the Motherland, we decide to try out some British alternatives to my favorite holiday drink.
Check out the video that started all this:
Thank you to all who have suggested this!

Advocaat zelf maken | Koken & bakken met SterkInDeKeuken!
Advocaat zelf maken is een eitje met Kipster eieren van Lidl!
Lente! Eindelijk! Dit is de leukste tijd van het jaar om zelf Advocaat te maken volgens een echt Hollands recept. Zeker de dagen voor Pasen is het superleuk om advocaat te maken en cadeau te geven. Elk jaar maken wij met Pasen een aantal karafjes Advocaat en deze karafjes geven we cadeau aan onze vrienden of familie. Als we bij vrienden of familie op bezoek gaan nemen we vaak een flesje wijn mee, maar in de Lente doen we dat met advocaat. Geinig hè?
Advocaat bevat enorm veel eieren (30 stuks per liter!) en daarom vonden we het belangrijk om goede milieuvriendelijke en diervriendelijke eitjes te kopen. ‘Kipster’ eieren van Lidl voldoen daaraan en zijn de meest duurzame eieren ter wereld. Bij Kipster worden de kippetjes echt als prinsessen behandeld (en zo hoort het eigenlijk ook).
