Sunset Brandy Delight
This creamy and rich Dutch eggnog, known as Advocaat, is a delightful concoction with a smooth texture and a hint of vanilla. It's a traditional holiday treat in the Netherlands, but it's perfect for any special occasion. The blend of egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and brandy creates a luxurious and indulgent drink that is best enjoyed with a dollop of softly whipped cream on top.
