Welcome to the Sunday Night Shooters Edition of Common Man Cocktails, I’m your host Derrick Schommer and today we’re looking to do an Alaskan Duck Fart. Yeah that’s right that’s the name of the drink. This was something that I’ve had, I can’t remember who it was, I’m sorry whoever it was that sent me this recipe, they sent me right around the same time if not at the same time I was watching Deadliest Catch on discovery channel and I love that show. I like to watch to fisherman do like really hard work while I sit down and watch and eat some chips.
This was a drink that the captain usually do right before they go out on a voyage and I think this is what they mark their bet that they make where they decide who’s going to catch the most fish, sorry whoever catches the most crab gets the bank and they seal the deal over a Duck Fart and they're in Alaska, it’s Alaska Duck Fart. We’re going to use some Kahlua, we’re going to use some Baileys, second time on the show we’re going to use a whisky. This is a brave spirit whisky. It donates $2.00 to the men and women in the armed forces, police, fire fighters whenever you buy brave spirit products. Right I know they’re available in Pennsylvania and they’re going around that area. So if you’re in there if you haven’t seen something like this the brave spirit brands, the gins and vodkas check that up. But this would be one of the only times we’re using whisky mainly because I’m not a huge fan of whisky but this is for you not me.
So what we’ll going to do is—this is a booze café style recipe which it means we’re going to be layering the shots. We’re going to do the Baileys then we’re going to layer – no that’s not Baileys that’s Kahlua. We will put the Kahlua and then we’re going to layer the Baileys on top. Typically the Baileys just tends to be the topper in this case is going to be whisky so that’s going to be neat.
So let’s layer some Baileys on here, see if we could do without making too much of a cloudiness because it’s such a fine line on this from the dark browns and the whites that when you screw up you start to see a little cloudiness. But I never said I was perfect. So that’s the second one, that’s pretty good, I’m proud of myself. And then we’ll put the whisky on top.
Now, realistically I don’t know if it really matters what type of whisky, bourbons, Scottish whisky, Scotch, this is I think is Pennsylvania, it’s not a bourbon, the brave spirits at least. You could use Baby Crown Royal and there you go. You can take about that. Looking whisky is rough, so you’ve got the three layers nice and distinct. I’m pretty proud, I did a pretty good job I think. There’s a little cloudiness, it kind of picks up some of the Baileys but the Baileys is and the Kahlua there's a great fine line between those. So when you order an Alaskan Duck Fart, it’s going to look like this. So let’s give this a try.
It’s a pretty strong whisky. All right here we go. So there’s a lot of Baileys flavors in here, actually the Kahlua too you get that coffee flavor. If you can imagine maybe a Starbucks coffee with a shot of whisky in it, which may not be that better if you’re huge fun of whisky this is all set. Now, if you’re not a huge fan of whisky and I am not the Scottish cool this is not my strong point but the drink doesn’t really lend itself to a huge whisky like after taste plus this whisky is not that bad.
So, you get some rough whisky but you really get that coffee and that Baileys layering which rounds out any of the punch you’ll get from a standard whisky so not a bad drink. If somebody offered me one I would have no problem with this. I don’t know if it would be a drink I would select myself but being not huge in the whisky I think that kind of explains it.
So that was an Alaskan Duck Fart and this is the sponsor awesomedrinks.com where you can shot glasses like this.
