The Duck Fart is Alaska's unofficial state drink, a layered shooter that stacks whiskey (specifically Crown Royal) over Irish cream and Kahlúa. It is a B-52 variant that swaps the orange liqueur for whiskey, creating a warmer, maltier profile. The layers are meant to be drunk in one go, delivering a progression of strong spirit followed by sweet, creamy dessert flavors.

Bartender's Note
Pour slowly over the back of a spoon to keep the layers distinct; density order matters.
