Watching while slurping Advocaat in Italian orange soda. It's like a gourmet creamsicle you can drink.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Oh wow! Sounds wild. Cheers!

[@BioDieselEstate]

Excellent. A straightforward, no-nonsense, recipe. Advocaat really is an exceptional drink. Excepting time constraints and of course, plain old laziness, if I can make advocaat myself at home, I cannot see why I would ever want to buy another bottle. Thank You very much for posting this video.

[@stacie493]

A Great recipe ,Made it and just loved it Thank-you.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Wonderful! I'm glad to hear you loved it.

[@GoldKingsMan]

I got this in a quiz show was recommended to try by the host. I was told it had lemonade in it.

[@DoozyyTV]

As a Dutch person I like to pour it on chocolate pudding

[@MCO18]

It's advocaat, sir. It tends to stain.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Haha. Exactly. You might like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGa7f6yelL9npLs

Yes! That's exactly why I'm here! Currently watching it and stopped to search for what it is. Thanks to the content creator for the recipe.

[@paulcolbourne5555]

Major Kong that’s alright jeeves

[@MrMusickey]

Literally watching the shinning now. Never tried this alcohol

[@mickeyberg1387]

this is great. I tried making it and even though I transferred to the ice bath as soon as the temperature hit 140F (thats what other recipes recommended) and also stirred constantly, i found clumps of cooked egg yolk and it was suuuuper thick

[@jasonhumphries9434]

I love this drink. Now i know how simple it is to make i just might start doing it myself! Great video.👍

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Great! Make up a batch. Let me know how it turns out.

[@jasonhumphries9434]

Distinguished Spirits I certainly will.👍

[@talkaboutwacky]

I love the thick consistency of it. The only downside is if you spill it on you it tends to stain. Fortunately I was already going to change jackets for the fish and goose soirée

[@matthewjohnson2420]

A great recipie and drink. I used your recipie and it was delicious! Thanks.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

[@ianholmes6078]

Wow! A boozy sweet dessert like drink. This stuff is amazing! Thanks for another great video.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

For sure! Let me know how it turns out when you make a batch. Cheers!

[@elh93]

I just got the 12 bottle bar, what recipes that you've not previously shown would you recommend trying?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

+elh93 There's a lot of good ones in there. The Trafalgar is a 12BB original. It's great. There's also classics like Glögg, Mai Tai, Bumbo, etc. The book is awesome for home enthusiasts. It has party themes and different cocktails for different occasions. They have easy drinks and harder drinks, but everything can be done with a realistic home bar set up. Enjoy!

[@jordanfield111]

How many oz would you say is a serving? Maybe like 4?

[@sweetypie9711]

If you heat it on the stove won't the alcohol in the brandy vaporize?

[@christianfarmer]

What were those other egg-based drinks you mentioned?

[@ckolinug]

In the old days in indonesia we made it by simply mixing raw egg yolk with rum. No sugar/salt added

[@moxdownful]

Damn amazing production. Nice

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Glad you dug it. Cheers!

[@paolaparmigiani4324]

Can I have this in mls and oz please I don't understand cups

[@zaedlo]

Thanks for that, I can't Advocaat in my area.

[@stevenpoe7482]

Great videos! Would like to see one on Long Island Iced Tea, I can never get them to taste right at home.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Steven Poe Thanks! Sure. I plan to do a little series on drinks named after NY boroughs and surrounding cities, which will include the Long Island Iced Tea. I have a couple suggestions, depending on what you like about the Long Island Iced Tea. If you're looking for a good kitchen sink style drink, check out The Burgess (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGa9o4h7bpl6oKM), if you're into strong drinks that taste like lemonade, check out the Corpse Reviver #2 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGiymKqDmaaWhck), if you're interested in a strong, sweet drink, check out the Brandy Punch (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWSrloGbhtRriqc), if you like highballs, check out the Dirty Shirley (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5e1qmtmlK6sp6M). Hopefully one of those can tide you over in the meantime. Cheers!

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

I finally tracked down a good recipe for the Long Island Iced Tea and the video just went up. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@cupcakesbiggestfan7954]

I’m pretty sure you can replace the brandy with maple syrup and apple juice if you want non alcoholic advocaat.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

I mean, you COULD. But I'd probably take it easy on the maple syrup. It's going to be pretty sweet already. You don't want to go into diabetic shock. Mix up a batch of the non-alcoholic version. Let me know how it turns out. Cheers!

[@cupcakesbiggestfan7954]

@@DistinguishedSpirits Thanks! I'll give it a try. Great video! Really helpful.

[@TEKNOFIED]

I'm not a fan of drinking alcohol. This is the only drink I love and have each New Years. No one sells it this year :( Looking at making it myself. Doesn't cooking it lose it's alcohol content?

[@elh93]

Can you please make some more Advocaat drinks? Also, do you know if any artificial sweeteners will work sufficiently and get the same texture?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

I've got one or two more I could make. Truthfully, there aren't a whole lot. The Snowball is a famous one, but I was too scared to try it. It didn't sound great to me. The 12 Bottle Bar (amzn.to/2h59DNC) has a couple more Advocaat drinks in their book. The Kindle version is on sale right now for $2. Re: sweeteners. I'm not sure. The only non-sugar sweeteners I typically use are Agave and Honey. Both have a distinct flavor to them and both are pretty viscous. It might be worth a trail run. But, something like crystalline stevia might work texture-wise, but I'm not sure about the favor. If there is a granulated sugar substitute you normally use, maybe give that a go. Sorry, I don't have a great answer for you.

[@elh93]

Ok, I'll do some experimentation with artificial sweeteners and report back in a few weeks. Only real reason I'm asking is I was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes over the summer, so regular sugar isn't the best idea.

[@elh93]

With splenda, it's not as thick as sugar, and lower volume. The flavor is also wrong, but I think that's from the brandy not the splenda.

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Bummer. Yeah, I imagine the flavor might not have been the same. Does it work better when there's more booze, like in the Jack Torrance or the Bombardino-Calimero? I made a batch today with some really bad brandy and it wasn't great on its own, but it was really good in both of those drinks.

[@elh93]

The Bombardino-Calimero I made was very good, but more like Irish coffee than I imagined it would taste, and I think after sitting in the fridge for a day it improved.

[@MrEditedable]

How long will this stay fresh and good?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

About a week to be safe.

[@mikeadams389]

Forever...and Ever......and Ever

[@akkinator]

Wouldn't it be better to add the Brandy after heating the mixture up so the heat won't kill the alcohol? Great recipe though, I'm definetly going to try it out!

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

akkifakki You can try it, but I think it would be too thick to heat and stir properly. You want to add the brandy to help thin it out. Just be sure to keep it on a lower heat so that you don't burn off the alcohol. You certainly do not want it to boil. Hope that helps. Cheers!

[@wmichaelbooth]

+akkifakki I'm not totally sure what the heating is for, whether for thickening only or for egg-safety purposes. Or both. The eggs are safe at 160 degrees and alcohol doesn't boil until 173, so there's a bit of wiggle room. I'd use a thermometer to keep an eye on it--besides, there's no reason to take the eggs any further than you have to. Personally, if the goal is to get the eggs to 160, I'd get some water simmering in that pot, make a double boiler with the mixing bowl, use a thermometer, and keep it moving with the whisk so the eggs don't scramble. It would be a lot faster.I'm not sure that's what the goal is, though. I think he's just applying heat to get the yolks working their custardy magic, especially since he's using low heat. In that case, the alcohol is a long way from boiling. Safety-wise, eggs aren't nearly as dangerous as people tend to think, assuming you handle them properly and are a healthy, non-pregnant adult. Or you could always use pasteurized.

[@MrFuzzyGreen]

Plus it's a misconception that much alcohol gets boiled off in any cooking process, burnt off perhaps if it is a flambé however in normal conditions it's a safe bet that 85%, on average, of the alcohol content is still there.

[@HungPham-rn5ik]

how long can you store this before it gets out dated ?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Hung Pham Store it in the fridge and you can safely keep it for a week. I'm not a doctor or a food scientist, so do this at your own risk, but I'm sure it will last a lot longer than that. My most recent batch did. Hope that helps. Cheers!

It will keep for a couple weeks in the refrigerator. But use your best judgement. Cheers!

[@Jordansparte]

Great video! Just curious, if I wanted to save on calories, could I use an artificial sweetener instead of sugar?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

You can. Other sweeteners will certainly affect the flavor, so keep that in mind, but if you're used to those alternate sweeteners, you'll probably be fine.

[@jonh013]

if you use aquafaba, would this be a good vegan option?

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

Good question. I've never tried it that way. Isn't aquafaba usually a sub for egg whites, not yolks?

[@jonh013]

Distinguished Spirits true, I wonder what might be comparable for the viscosity..

[@DistinguishedSpirits]

These guys recommend using a cashew nut substitute for egg yolks. mydarlingvegan.com/2016/10/replacing-eggs/
