The Duck Fart is a fun drink that combines three different liqueurs in layers a single shot. It's been said that the Duck Fart is to Alaska what the Mai-Tai is to Hawaii and the Margarita is to Mexico. Despite its weird-sounding name, the Duck Fart is actually quite tasty, and described as somewhat sweet. This article will show you how to make one.

Ingredients

Servings: 1

  • ½ ounce (15 milliliters) Kahlua
  • ½ ounce (15 milliliters) Bailey's Irish Cream
  • ½ ounce (15 milliliters) Crown Royal

Making a Basic Duck Fart

  1. This drink is best enjoyed at room temperature. The ice will also only disrupt the layers. The glass should also be clear, so that you can see the layers.
  2. Aim it into the middle of the glass, so that you don't get any on the sides. Getting liquid on the sides could mess up the later layers.

  3. Turn the spoon upside down, so the dome part is facing up. The tip should be touching the inside wall of the glass, just above the Kahlua. The spoon will help you pour the next two layers slowly, and keep them intact. [1]
    • Some people find it easier if the tip of the spoon is just touching the Kahlua. Other people prefer to hold it just a little higher up. You may need to experiment with what is easiest for you.
  4. Make sure that you are pouring towards the hand that's holding the spoon. Move the spoon upwards as the liquid level rises in the glass. Don't let the tip of the spoon get inside the liquid.
    • Patience is key. The slower you pour, the better. If you pour too fast, the layers will mix.
    • Don't worry if the layers start to mix. If this happens, stop and wait a few seconds. They will eventually settle and separate.
  5. Use the same spoon method as you did for the Irish Cream. Try to fill the glass as close to the rim as possible. Don't worry about spills. You can always wipe them up.
  6. Don't sip it. The flavors won't blend right. [2]

  1. [3] A B-52 is made in the exact same way as a Duck Fart. Instead of Crown Royal, however, it uses Grand Marnier. The proportions are exactly the same.
    • Prepare a B-51 the same way as a Duck Fart, but use Frangelico hazelnut liqueur instead.
  2. Pour the Bailey's, Crown Royal, and Kahlua into a 12 to 16 ounce (350 to 475 milliliters) coffee mug. Add some fresh, brewed coffee, almost to the brim. Top off with whipped cream and crème de cacao. Here's what you'll need to make a Duck Fart coffee:
    • 1 ½ ounces (45 milliliters) Bailey's® Irish cream
    • 1 ½ ounces (45 milliliters) Crown Royal® Canadian whisky
    • 1 ½ ounces (45 milliliters) Kahlua® coffee liqueur
    • 6 - 10 ounces (180 – 260 milliliters) fresh, brewed coffee
    • Whipped cream (to taste)
    • Crème de cacao (to taste)
  3. Pour the Seagram's 7, Kahlua, and Bailey's into a cocktail shaker. Add some ice and shake it to mix. Pour the drink through a strainer into a shot glass, and serve. Here's what you'll need to make a Taiwan Duck Fart:
    • 1/3 ounce (10 milliliters) Seagram's® 7 whisky
    • 1/3 ounce (10 milliliters) Kahlua® coffee liqueur
    • 1/3 ounce (10 milliliters) Bailey's® Irish cream
  4. Pour equal parts of Kahlua, Bailey's, Crown Royal, and vodka into a blender. Add some ice, and blend until it becomes thick. Serve the drink in a shot glass.

    Expert Answer
    You can use butterscotch liquor instead of Kahlua and 151 rum instead of Crown Royal. You could also experiment with different types of butterscotch liqueurs or add other spirits to the mix!

      Tips

      • Don't cry over messed up layers. Reuse the messed up drink in your coffee, or soak a sponge cake in it. You can also just drink it, if you are making it for yourself. [4]

      • If you don't care for Crown Royal, you can use any whiskey. Canadian whiskey is the most recommended.

      Warnings

      • Take your time while pouring in each layer. Pouring too fast will result in the layers mixing together. The layers are part of the duck fart.
