Egg liqueur

According to legend, the tradition of preparing egg liqueur came from Brazil. Local Indians made a drink based on strong cacha, honey, spices and avocado fruit (from the name of this fruit liqueur and got its name Advocat, not related to jurisprudence). Portuguese colonists adopted the method of making the drink, but avocados in Europe did not take root, so the moody fruit was replaced with egg yolks. Currently, the egg liquor lawyer (Advocaat) is produced in the Netherlands and Austria. This bright yellow thick creamy drink with a smooth, homogeneous, velvety texture strength of 14 to 20%, is a mixture of grape brandy and egg-leg (i.e. egg yolks with sugar and cream).

Delicious egg liqueur can be cooked at home. Of course, it is better to use fresh dietary chicken eggs or quail eggs in the appropriate proportion to prevent salmonellosis.

Recipe for egg liqueur

Ingredients:

Preparation

Half a portion of brandy is mixed with cream and heated on a water bath. Add a little sugar powder with continuous stirring. It is necessary that the powder is completely dissolved. We have a syrup with a homogeneous, delicate texture. We cool it, putting the saucepan in a bowl with cold water or ice.

We break eggs and separate the yolks. We merge them into one container and add the second portion of brandy and vanilla. Thoroughly mix with a fork or a whisk. Let the mixture stand for about 30 minutes. Filter the egg mixture into a container with cream, add lemon juice or lime juice. We mix thoroughly, without whipping, pouring into bottles and corking them. It would be nice to put the bottles in the refrigerator (but not in the freezer) for 2 days.

Now let's figure out what to drink an egg liqueur. Usually this drink is used as one of the ingredients of mixed cocktails with liquor . Serve it in its pure form with a spoon, because it is thick enough.
