At Last Again! - A winter classic



Wow, it's been a long time. Hard to make time for extra curricular activities when working full time and taking 2 classes...but I digress, this isn't about me, it's about you and your need for a delicious winter beverage. I bring to you a classic, prepared Northern Minnesota Style. In other parts of the country this is made with any ol' whisky and prepared as a shot, but in Northern Minnesota this is a sipping drink and the whisky of choice comes from the land to the north. This is the recipe from the father of one of my friends. They're from Bemidji, which is about as close to Canada as you can get without actually crossing a border.

The Duck Fart
You'll need 8 oz. each of:
Kahlua
Merry's Irish Cream
and Canadian whisky such as Canadian Mist

Mixing instructions:

In a large pitcher, combine all ingredients.
Prepare 6 low tumblers by adding a small amount of ice to each.
Pour the elixer in to the glasses and sip whilst sitting by the fireplace basking in the glow of the holiday season. Or slam em down one after the other if you're family is being particularly obnoxious.
