Hollandier
The Hollandier, from Zodiac’s bartender Nick, is delivering the mid-year Christmas vibes. Using Advocaat – a Dutch egg and brandy-based liquor that is a little like eggnog – vodka, Creme de Cacao White, and Creme de Cacao Brown, you’ll be warmed from the inside out. This is a perfect one to make to fight the winter blues.
Recipe
20 ml Vodka
20 ml Creme de cacao White
5 ml Creme de Cacao Brown
30 ml Advocaat
30 ml Cream
Method
Add ice to a champagne flute.
Add the Advocaat and cream to a shaker with a Hawthorne strainer coiled spring and shake vigorously to thicken the mixture. It should be thickened but still pourable.
Combine the vodka and Creme de Cacao White in a mixing glass and add ice. Stir down.
Remove the ice from the flute and double-strain the Vodka and Creme de Cacao White into the glass.
"Sink" the Creme de Cacao Brown to the bottom of the glass. It will settle and produce a colour gradient rising up from the bottom.
Delicately pour the Advocaat and Cream over top of the mixture as a float.
Sprinkle a dash of ground Nutmeg over the top.
The finished drink is served.
