I love the cocoa powder top (great nose, and pillow soft when sipping), but the vodka and Advocaat are harshly alcoholic - I don't like it.

Love it but dilute with lemonade

Not a fan of vanilla vodka so this made good use of the dusty bottle at the back of the shelf. Bet this works with well with bourbon, brandy or any liquor used to flavour alcoholic custards.
