It seems that most of my cocktails this month come from the same TikTok account - Difford's Guide AU. But they just have a cute mixologist and I cannot help it but think "I need to make that!" after every drink she makes.
This week: The Fluffy Duck
I don't actually have all the ingredients needed for a proper Fluffy Duck, but my mantra when it comes to cocktails is "improvise, improvise, improvise". And maybe one day I will buy some Advocaat liqueur and make proper Fluffy Duck - but I am already running out of space for booze.
Advocaat liqueur is similar to eggnog I guess... and it apparently tastes like vanilla custard and panna cotta, which gave me plenty of right to replace it with the white chocolate strawberry liqueur that I had leftover from NYE party - I bet these two liqueurs have nothing in common, but the main reason I chose it was the creaminess.
A popular cocktail in the 80s, the Fluffy Duck can be made with rum or gin - I only recently got some rum from my dad, but gin is my go-to choice so I make my Fluffy Duck with gin (also the recipe with rum is slightly different).
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 1 oz/30 ml gin of your choice
- 1 oz/30 ml advocaat liqueur (or Mozart white chocolate strawberry liqueur in my case)
- 2/3 oz/20 ml triple sec (Cointreau is my go to)
- 2/3 oz/20 ml fresh orange juice
- ice
- soda water
- orange slices (garnish)
Method:
Shake the first four ingredients with plenty of ice. Fill a highball glass with ice. Strain your cocktail in. Top with soda water and garnish with orange slices.
Enjoy!
It's really yummy and I made it a bunch of times until I ran out of white chocolate liqueur - next on my booze wishlist is getting the actual Advocaat liqueur.
