Fruit liqueurs

If possible only Fill fruits with a soft peel into your glass jar (preserving jar or bottle) and sprinkle sugar over it, then add the alcohol. Fruit liqueur must steep for at least 30 minutes, then it is ready to enjoy.

Egg liqueur & bearcatch

Egg and honey liqueurs are also very popular specialities that many know and love.

Advocaat
For this delicious drink, first boil up real Vanilla from one or even 2 pods together with 200 ml cream, then stir in 250 g icing sugar. As soon as the mixture has cooled down, 200 ml clear alcohol is stirred in. This also ensures the shelf life of the drink. Nevertheless, advocaat is known to be a drink that should not be stored for too long.

Egg liqueur can alternatively be produced without alcohol, refined with orange and lemon flavour and Cinnamon . However, this Vairante should be drunk immediately (made from eggs among other things).
