Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.55 / 5
The Duck Fart cocktail is a playful and indulgent concoction that consists of equal parts Bailey's Irish Cream, coffee liqueur, and whiskey, typically layered in a shot glass. This trifecta of creamy, coffee, and rich whiskey flavors creates a potent and delicious shooter that smoothly combines the complementary notes of sweetness from the Irish cream, the deep bitterness from the coffee liqueur, and the warmth of the whiskey. Originating from Alaska, the Duck Fart is a quirky and memorable drink that is popular in bars for its unique name and enjoyable taste profile.
