🥃 Božkov Vaječný likér
Egg liqueur from the Božkov brand: milk, sugar, molasses spirit and egg yolks, 15% ABV; produced by Stock Plzeň-Božkov.
Božkov Vaječný likér is an egg liqueur from the Božkov brand, produced by Stock Plzeň-Božkov in Plzeň. Its strength is 15% ABV, which makes it the weakest drink in the brand's lines. The brand's website calls egg liqueur a traditional favourite at Christmas and Easter in the Czech Republic and in Czech families.
According to the label, the liqueur contains milk, sugar, molasses-based spirit, egg yolks, flavouring and colourings. The label lists the allergens eggs and milk. Like Božkov Vodka, its base is molasses spirit rather than grain spirit. Nearby in the brand's liqueur range are flavoured versions with hazelnut, caramel and pistachio.
Why this matters to you. Compared with Božkov Vodka or Božkov Republica Exclusive, it has about half the alcohol content but a lot of sugar and milk, so it is a dessert-style drink. It is not suitable for people with egg or milk allergies, and the producer advises storing it at 5–18 °C. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
