Advocaat

/ˈadvəkɑt/ noun

A rich, creamy Dutch liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy; often used in cocktails or desserts.

From Dutch 'advocaat,' which comes from Latin 'avocatus' (from 'avocatus' meaning 'called to' or 'advocate'). The etymology is disputed—some suggest it relates to the drink's 'advocacy' for celebration, or it may derive from Latin 'avocado.'
