History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2007 by H. Joseph Ehrmann at Elixir in San Francisco, California. His recipe doesn't use advocaat but is instead made with an eggnog base, made by combining beaten egg yolks with sugar, milk, cream and nutmeg. H. has also experimented with ageing the mixture age for three months in a cask before using it in his Añogo. It's a faff to make the eggnog base, so I use advocaat instead. Sorry H.

No need to apologize, Simon! I was researching what kind of press this drink has gotten and kept seeing it surprisingly pop up with advocaat. When I asked someone why, he pointed me here, where I didn't know it was listed! Thanks! Now I have to try it with advocaat! (I actually created this back in 2007, and tried it various ways over the years, including aging the tequila in a small cask I had seasoned with sherry for 6 months prior. These days at ELIXIR, we just build it with no aging.

Thanks, H. I look forward to seeing you at Elixir again in the not-too-distant future.

I used an espresso crème tequila liqueur instead of the more traditional tequila and the resulting, extra creamy with a hint of coffee, cocktail was divine. I will be serving at next years Christmas soirèe.

I made variations by using resposado tequila and Marsala Secco…you gotta use what you’ve got! It is still an advocaat drink (great), but with a bit of restraint of the sweeter side of the advocaat.
