Once upon a time a load of Dutch folk lived in Suriname and made a liquor made of avocados. When they returned to their home, they realised that avocados were a little thin on the ground and so made a drink with thickened egg yolk. And so Advocaat, as we know it now, was born.This bright yellow liquid has been the mainstay of the ‘70’s generation for the past thirty odd years. Snowballs (advocaat and lemonade) have been the tipple of choice for grannies since the decade where everything was brown, orange and, appropriately enough, yellow.
