Hey coffee lovers and party hosts! Today we’re sharing a recipe for the ultimate Duck Fart shot recipe. This rich, creamy treat is perfect for any occasion. So fire up the espresso machine, and let’s get started on this tasty shot recipe!
A Duck Fart Shot is a conversation starter of a drink made with Kahlua, Bailey’s, and Jack Daniels.
What is a duck fart shot, and why is it called that?
The Duck Fart cocktail is said to have originated from the Peanut Farm, an iconic bar in Anchorage, Alaska.
One chilly night, an older woman stepped into the bar and asked for a shot of tequila. She followed up with a B-52 and then requested a Grasshopper. Intrigued by her choices, Schmidt decided to try something new – layered shots! After assembling the bottom layer with Kahlua, he was topping it off with Baileys when she suggested adding some Crown Royal as well.
With that curiosity piqued, and since it was a slow night at the bar, they experimented together, creating all sorts of layered combinations, thus the birth of this 3-layered shot. When he served her the shot, the loud sound that emanated from her when she took the shot resembled the noise a duck might make if someone stepped on it.
Another story suggests he wore a duckbill then, which could have been where his inspiration originated.
The other popular opinion is that this classic cocktail’s name originated in its creator’s hometown of Oregon – but no matter what stories you hear about how “The Peanut Farm” received its title, one thing remains true: This beloved drink has made an everlasting home there!
Whether for a conversation starter or just a laugh, this shot will bring happiness!

Duck Fart Shot
Equipment
- 1 jigger
- 1 Kitchen Spoon
- 1 Tall Shot Glass 2 ounces
Ingredients
- 1/2 ounce Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
- 1/2 ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1/2 ounce Jack Daniels
Instructions
- Measure out your Kahlua and pour it into your shot glass.
- Measure out the Bailey’s. Gently and slowly pour it over a spoon into the shot glass. Be sure the spoon tip meets the liquid already in the glass before you begin pouring.
- Follow step #2 with the Jack Daniels. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any coffee liqueur or Irish creme, but we know Kahlua and Bailey’s are the best.
- The original shot used Crown Royal as the final layer. You can use any whiskey you prefer. Go for your favorite.
- It’s important that the spoon isn’t held too high above the glass or the liquid already in the glass, or it will mix the ingredients. It’s also important you pour it slowly. Too much weight at once will mix it as well.
- You’re not supposed to mix these ingredients before taking the shot. It’s taken in layers, and you’ll go through different emotions as the layers hit you. I mean, at least I did. Strong stuff!
- The top two layers will look like they’re mixing a bit, which is normal. Almost like the Bailey’s is snaking into the whiskey. It’s part of the charm of the Duck Fart.
