The Bessie & Jessie cocktail is a creamy and indulgent drink that combines the rich, egg-based texture of Advocaat with the bold flavours of whiskey. The addition of milk not only softens the overall profile but also adds to its smoothness, creating a cocktail that is both sippable and comforting.

Traditionally served in a highball glass, the Bessie & Jessie offers a balance between the strong character of whiskey and the velvety sweetness of Advocaat, making it a unique choice for those who appreciate a cocktail with a dessert-like quality and a hint of robust spirit complexity.
