Advocaat, a rich and creamy Dutch liqueur, has a history dating back to the 17th century. Its name is derived from the Dutch word for "lawyer," as it was originally favored by the upper class and legal professionals. This velvety concoction is made from eggs, sugar, and brandy, resulting in a decadent, custard-like flavor. Traditionally enjoyed during the holidays, Advocaat is often served in small glasses or used as a topping for desserts. In the Netherlands, it is a staple during festive occasions. Today, the best Advocaat can be found in traditional Dutch distilleries and enjoyed in cozy cafes throughout the country.
