Materials

Instructies

  • Measure 60 ml milk into a measuring jug.
  • Slowly add the advocaat until the total volume reaches 100 ml, stirring gently as you add it.
    • This makes the thick advocaat easier to measure and helps prevent it from sticking to the measuring jug.
  • Pour the mixture into a shaker, add 30 ml Licor 43 and a moderate amount of ice.
  • Shake briefly but firmly until chilled and smooth, taking care not to over-dilute.
  • Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish lightly with freshly grated nutmeg.
    • Keep the garnish subtle — a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg is enough. Whipped cream is best avoided, as the cocktail is already rich and creamy.
    Chocolate Variation:
    Replace the 30 ml Licor 43 with 30 ml crème de cacao for a richer, chocolate-led variation. The cocktail becomes slightly darker while retaining the same creamy texture and advocaat character.

Notities

History

The Dutch Eggnog 43 Affair is a modern Dutch-inspired take on the rich, creamy character of traditional eggnog. Instead of making an eggnog base from scratch, it uses Advocaat — the classic Dutch liqueur made with eggs, sugar and alcohol — as its foundation.
Licor 43 adds its distinctive vanilla, citrus and warm spice notes, while milk softens the richness of the Advocaat and gives the cocktail a smoother, lighter texture. A small amount of freshly grated nutmeg provides the familiar aromatic link to traditional eggnog.
For a more dessert-like variation, replace the Licor 43 with Crème de Cacao. This shifts the cocktail from vanilla and warm spice towards chocolate and custard, while retaining the same creamy Advocaat base.
