Verpoorten Original Eierlikör

Verpoorten Original Eierlikör is among the best known egg liqueurs from Germany, made to the secret family recipe of Eugen Verpoorten and long established as a classic of the style. An advocaat style egg liqueur is built on egg yolk blended with spirit and sugar and usually vanilla, rested to a thick, custardy texture, and this original is bottled at 20% ABV. The brand pairs long experience with consistent quality across a wide range.

The nose is sweetish and creamy with subtle vanilla and egg, the palate full bodied, creamy and mildly sweet with a classic eggnog aroma, and the finish soft, round and long. Behind the bar it brings rich body, custard sweetness and a warm yellow colour, which makes it the base of a Snowball with lemonade, a creamy layer in dessert shots, or a smoothing component in after dinner builds. It is also a favourite in the kitchen for cakes, creams, ice cream and fruit. Serve it slightly chilled or at room temperature, and as an egg based liqueur keep it cool and use it within a finite window once opened.
