Dutch Advocaat

Carol H's Note:

"This is the Dutch equivalent of eggnog and literally translated means "lawyer". This traditional Dutch beverage is always served during the Christmas season. Serve in a lovely glass and provide the guest with a small spoon for consumption of the beverage."

I haven't tried this reciepe by Advocaat is quite lovely. (Raw eggs and all...) It's best served over some really nice vanilla icecream! :-)
