advocaat? what on earth...

[wellcoveredsparerib]

can I do with it if not drink it?
I have just tried it and it is horrid - too sweet and claggy - like a nasty custard. Mixing it with lemonade ( as it suggests on bottle) would make it even sweeter.
Any suggestions other than pouring it down the sink?

Make a snowball! (advocacy cocktail) if all else fails it'll taste much nicer after 4th one!!

send it to me :o

I haven't had it in years - it was my childhood Christmas/new year drink - we were a liberal family as far as alcohol is concerned - I has it as far back as I can remember - definitely early primary!

I love Snowballs :). They really should be drunk, well, all the time. Cherry B anyone?

The mix of advocaat and lemonade is just lovely. Really. Try it, you may find something delicious

Yes Electric - I agree - that's what I always had - might actually buy a bottle for Christmas and rekindle old tastes - I wonder if my boys would like it as a their Christmas drink?

I was told to add rum as well as lemonade to make a proper snowball, must be worth a try?

I love snowballs!

I had them growing up and still have them at mums. Do not mix with vodka! I learnt that a couple of years ago

Oh, rum as well! Am going to try that .

Amck The DCs have been promised a Snowball as a treat at Christmas. Bless em, they really don't need it!

Yes Ophelia - when in doubt, adding more alcohol to alcohol is always a good move :o

Except in SPs case that seems!!

Oh blimey, vodka as well! This will be the Year of Advocaat Drinks At Christmas.

My liver will be a bit off for a while, I think.

Electric - it is my main memory of my Dad - he always did the beer/spirit Christmas shopping - we were not well off, but he always bought a bottle of Advocaat for me :).

and being exposed to alcohol at a young age has not turned me into an alcoholic, I actually rarely drink.......but can hold my drink well when I choose to.

Too many snowballs and nearly passed out by 5pm that Christmas

A proper Snowball has a little lime as well as lemonade and in our house vodka too.

cross posted with SP

mix with lemonade, dash o' lime and serve with a cherry on a cocktail stick :-D

I'm definitely going to get some now :) Pity i've just done my Christmas grocery shopping order - means I'll actually have to set foot in a store!!

supa has it

amck My dad did the same. And I completely agree with your second para, what I meant was that I have spirited lively children. Possibly too lively without any help .

lol Electric - No1 son (age 12) is a bit of a worry - even as a small child when tasting our wine did not do the whole body shiver - he just came back for more! He also once licked spilt beer from the tablecloth! He is very shy and I worry that if he finds that alcohol gives him confidence then we may have a problem on our hands! We have a few years to work on his confidence to avert disaster!!

You need to add a dash of lime with the lemonade. It's lovely and because I'm up duffed I will be enjoying nil

Oh yes, Grandma always used to give me sips of her Christmas snowballs- from the age of about 7 . And of course it had a maraschino cherry on a stick.....

I was about to see if there is such a thing as non-alcoholic egg nog and then thought..........eggs!!

You could always name the baby Advocaat - Addy for short :o
