During Easter, everything revolves around eggs. However, children aren't the only ones who should enjoy a visit by the Easter Bunny. For adults, eggs make a wonderful liqueur, with an exotic background. In Brazil, colonial sailors discovered a drink that was made with avocados and alcohol. Since avocados were not then available in Europe, the Dutchman Eugen Verpoorten replaced them with eggs and without further ado – advocaat was born. To this day, Verpoorten advocaat is produced according to the original recipe from 1876.
