Fun Fact
The name ‘Zwarte Kip’ is a playful reference to the use of fresh eggs in the liqueur. Although advocaat originally is based on a Brazilian avocado drink (abacate), the Dutch version is fully developed based on egg yolks. Zwarte Kip Advocaat is still one of the few brands that use real eggs, which ensures an authentic texture and flavor.
