Yellow Belly

The Yellow Belly is a vibrant and tropical shot that combines the rich flavors of rum and advocaat liqueur to create a sweet and creamy delight. With its blend of light rum and coconut rum, this shot captures the essence of a tropical getaway, offering both the smoothness of the light rum and the creamy, sweet coconut flavor. The addition of advocaat liqueur, a traditional Dutch liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy, adds a creamy, custard-like texture and a hint of vanilla that complements the tropical notes beautifully.

The origin of the Yellow Belly is not well-documented, but it likely emerged as a playful and indulgent party shot, inspired by the trend of creating colorful and flavorful mixed drinks. The use of advocaat, a liqueur with a rich history dating back to the 17th century, adds a touch of European tradition to this otherwise tropical concoction. The drink's name, "Yellow Belly," is a nod to its bright yellow hue, which is as inviting as its taste is delightful. Ideal for celebrations and gatherings, the Yellow Belly is a fun and flavorful way to bring a taste of the tropics to any occasion.

This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Shot Glass, though any glass works!
