      We were in the Netherlands over the holidays. We couldn’t find advocaat to save our lives! Some people gave us a blank look like they’d never heard of it. Others said it was a grandma drink and they never get call for it. :(

        They sell it at every supermarket. If you ever visit again you may also want to try Tokkelroom. I prefer it to advocaat. It contains less alcohol and tastes creamier than advocaat (though the general taste is very similar).

        To those who are having trouble finding advocaat in their country, it’s very easy to make though. And the ingredients should be easy to get in most places. Here’s a recipe. :)

        This scene inspired the best cocktail ever, the Jack Torrance:

        • 1 part Bourbon (or Jack Daniels)
        • 3 parts Advocaat
        • 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters
        • Shake with ice

            Reasonably easy to find in any of the major bottle shops in Australia.

            Don’t know how exy it would be in the states, with your whole egg thing happening 😅

                :D

                If you happen to find some, knock together a fluffy duck cocktail - oldschool but worth a try in my books.

                  Reminds me of the duck fart.

                  • 1 ounce Kahlua
                  • 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
                  • 1⁄2 ounce Crown Royal whiskey

                  Recommend going a touch heavier on the whiskey.

                    Sounds decent, I’d go 30 / 30 / 20 respectively.

                    60 cold brew and 15 aqua would make it into an espress duck fart mart
