Recipe review - Eggnog Liqueur (Advocaat)
« on: December 17, 2009, 12:32:41 pm »
Eggnog Liqueur (Advocaat) page 45 Festive Flavour cookbook.
It says this is the thick version of advocaat but mine was very runny - I used low fat evaporated milk, would that make a difference. Obviously the colour was nothing like the bought variety but the flavour was still there.  I used a tall glass, added about 5cm advocaat and topped up with lemonade. I then drizzled some of the raspberry cordial I made yesterday down the side of the glass for effect more than anything else.  I spent a good hour on the internet this afternoon looking for cocktail recipes to try but seeing as I am giving most of this batch away, don't think I am going to get to try too many. Using other spirits as well as the advocaat, there's a fluffy duck, squashed frog, blonde russian to name a few and some from another site.... but I won't go there with the names of theirs  ??? ??? I digress.  What did I think of it - I would have liked it to have been thicker, had to go out and buy a bottle of vodka to make it so it was an expensive little exercise. It was quite nice though 3.5/5

It shouldn't have been a problem with the light milk.  It is like sabayon (remember George on Masterchef) with vodka added.

Maybe let it go for 6 minutes before adding the milk and then add the vodka with a minute to go?  You know I'll have to try it since I love making sabayon.

You're going to be very busy testing all these recipes I'm having trouble with Thermomixer  ;D ;D ;D  By the way, any idea how long the advocaat would keep in the fridge?

Have pm'd you Chookie - if you want the Festive Flavour cookbook, just contact your demonstrator to see if they have any left. Can't remember if anyone posted an index of recipes from this book or not, just had a quick look and couldn't find it.

I made another batch of this tonight Thermomixer and tried your idea of cooking it longer before adding the milk and vodka.  Made no difference unfortunately, still runny.  I love it though so guess it doesn't matter.  My favourite drink so far is called a Dutch Latte which is coke and advocaat. I gave it to visitors today - they thought it was great too and she wasn't a coke drinker.
