Dutch Latte is a simple, modern highball-style mix that leans into a distinctly Dutch favourite: advocaat. Rather than trading on a long, codified backstory, it sits in the easygoing tradition of two-ingredient drinks where a rich liqueur meets a familiar mixer, giving you something dessert-like without feeling fussy.
You’ll find advocaat brings thick, custardy sweetness and a gentle vanilla-egg richness, and the cola stretches that into a longer, lighter sip. The cola’s caramel sweetness echoes the liqueur’s creamy depth, while its fizz lifts the texture so it doesn’t feel overly heavy. As you drink, expect a smooth, rounded profile where the advocaat stays front and centre, with cola adding sparkle and a lingering, toffee-like finish.
Serve it when you want an uncomplicated after-dinner treat or a cosy night-in pour that feels like a shortcut to dessert. It suits anyone who enjoys creamy liqueurs, sweet mixed drinks, or a softer alternative to sharper, citrus-led cocktails—especially when you’re in the mood for something comforting and nostalgic.

Cocktail Colin says:
Advocaat brings thick, eggy vanilla custard richness while cola adds fizzy caramel sweetness and a gentle spice edge, turning the drink into a creamy soda float in a rocks glass. It works because the cola’s bubbles lighten the dense advocaat and keep it from cloying, making it ideal for dessert-drink fans and anyone who likes simple, sweet, creamy highballs.

FAQ's
What is Advocaat and what does it taste like?
Advocaat is a traditional Dutch liquor made from eggs, sugar, and brandy. It has a rich, creamy texture and a sweet flavor, with hints of vanilla. Its taste and texture are similar to that of custard, making it an interesting addition to cocktails like the Dutch Latte.
Why is the Dutch Latte stirred and not shaken?
The Dutch Latte is stirred rather than shaken to preserve the smooth texture of the Advocaat and to prevent excessive fizziness from the cola. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without introducing too much air, resulting in a more balanced and enjoyable drink.
What is the best way to serve a Dutch Latte?
A Dutch Latte is best served in a lowball glass, cold but without ice to avoid dilution. Since both main ingredients are enjoyed chilled, pre-chilling the glass can enhance the drinking experience. Stir the ingredients directly in the glass for optimal texture and taste.
How does the alcohol content in a Dutch Latte compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of approximately 2.92%, the Dutch Latte is considered a low-alcohol cocktail. Most classic cocktails have a higher alcohol content, making the Dutch Latte a more suitable option for those seeking a milder drink.
Are there any recommended variations or additions to the Dutch Latte recipe?
For those looking to add a twist to the Dutch Latte, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or chocolate syrup for a spiced or mocha variation. Vanilla extract can also complement the creamy texture of Advocaat. If you're looking for texture, a whipped cream topping could add an extra layer of indulgence.
