The Alaskan Duck fart was invented in Alaska, so the saying goes. It said to have been invented by at a Peanut Farm in Alaska by Dave Schmidt in 1987. A women walked into the bar and ordered a shot of tequila, then a B52…then they started experimenting and this creation was born (a riff off the B52).
While the B-52 brings Grand Marnier, the Alaskan Duck Fart sticks with Canadian Whiskey, of course. You do layer this cocktail however you don’t have to be too proper with the layering; the irish cream and coffee liqueur will layer easily, the whiskey will mix a bit with the irish cream which gives more “duck poop” like effect or…the duck fart.
A product of the 80’s, there is no doubt Deadliest Catch and the late captain Phil Harris had a lot to do with its growth in popularity over the last ten years or so. But, one thing is certain, the Alaskan Duck Fart is an actual tasty little shooter!

February 23, 2023 at 6:31 pmThe “Alaska” Duck Fart actually originated in Sequim, Washington. I tended bar there in 1987 at a place called Pellegrino’s (now The Paradise or something like that) . It was a slow winter night and I had only one customer at the bar. He asked if I could make a “less sweet B-52” and I suggested substituting crown Royal for the B-52’s Grand Marnier. He liked it and said we had just invented a new drink. I asked him what we should name it and he said “How about Duck Fart?” I said sure, that’s a perfectly good name. I never gave it a second thought until…
Four years later I was working at Vesuvio in San Francisco and a cocktail waitress called out her drink order that included a Duck Fart. I said, “ What? Ask him what’s in it.” When she came back with the proper ingredients I told her to send the guy up to the bar to talk to me. I asked him where he had heard of that drink and he said Alaska, everyone in Alaska drinks them now! So I told him the story of its origin then again never gave it another thought until now, 30 years later, I’m having a few drinks with a bartender friend and we were swapping old bar stories. I told her about the Duck Fart and just to prove my point I googled Duck Fart and, damn, it’s FAMOUS!!!
Now, I’m a big fan of never letting facts get in the way of a good story and I really couldn’t care less….just felt like setting the record straight. The Duck Fart originated in Sequim in 1987. I was there. I poured the very first one. It was named by a gentleman named Doug whom I have not seen since I left Sequim a few months after that. . I wasn’t surprised to hear it had migrated up to Alaska because many people commuted from NW Washington to work in Alaska.
Cheers!
