| Video Discription | 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.
