History of appearance

If you start a conversation about the egg liquor, then, as a rule, he associates with many with the liquor "Advocate". The origin of this drink is unclear. There are several versions. The first is based on the Dutch texts of the seventeenth century. They mention a drink of bright yellow color, which was popular with sailors who sailed to the Dutch Antilles.

What was previously an egg liquor? It is a mixture of alcohol and mousse of avocado. In the homeland of sailors, unfortunately, there was no such fruit, so they replaced it with yolk.

Modern egg liqueur has a creamy velvety texture. This sweet drink contains an average of 16-18% alcohol.

In various recipes for the preparation of egg liqueur, honey or sugar, brandy (grape) or cognac (sometimes vodka), condensed milk or cream are used.

On the Belgian and Dutch markets, they sell very dense beverages. The most famous producers of this liqueur are Jansen, Bols, Warninks, etc.

In Poland they produce a liquor called Ajerkoniak. It is prepared on the basis of vodka.

Especially thick drinks are produced in the Netherlands. There for them bottles with a wide neck are used to facilitate the pouring process. This kind of liqueur I use in the preparation of desserts, creams. Also it is added to cakes and muffins. And what to replace the egg liqueur in the cake, if it is not at hand? Any liquor will do, especially good "Bailey". Also for these purposes you can use ordinary cognac.

We prepare a delicious drink at home

Now we propose to find out how to make an egg liqueur at home. To cook it, you will not need to boil condensed milk and for a long time tinker in the kitchen. However, before pouring liquor on glasses, all the same you need to wait a bit, otherwise the drink will have a sufficiently bright taste and aroma of vodka. It is advisable to let it brew for three days (at least twelve hours). After this procedure, an unpleasant aftertaste disappears, and a received bouquet appears (slightly similar to cognac).

For cooking, you need ordinary utensils, for example, a deep bowl. A fork will also be required. If you have a blender, it's generally great, use it. This device is best to beat the yolks.

Homemade egg liqueur

To prepare 450 ml of liquor, you will need:

• Half a can of condensed milk;
• Three yolks;
• Half a teaspoon of vanilla (if using vanilla sugar, then 1,5 tsp);
• 350 ml of good vodka (for your taste). You can use brandy.

How to cook egg liqueur? Let's consider in detail the whole process.

1. First you need to separate the proteins from the yolks. You need to do this very carefully, so that nothing gets into the drink.
2. Then you must carefully beat the yolks.
3. Next to the eggs is added vanilla, condensed milk. After this, continue to whisk until you get a mass with a uniform consistency.
4. Then add small amounts of vodka. This is necessary so that you can choose the desired consistency. Then you need to mix the liquor and pour it into the bottle. A ready-made drink in the refrigerator can be stored for a month (no more!).

Note that in this way the prepared egg liquor turns out to be quite liquid, but after it has been standing in the cold for several days, its consistency will become thicker and will resemble a cream. Such metamorphosis caused the use of liqueur much wider. So, in addition to being used in cocktails, they are watered with ice cream, and also used for interlayer and filling of cakes and pastries.
