Notes

What Makes It "Fluffy"? The magic of the Fluffy Duck lies in its name. The combination of the egg-based Advocaat and the fizzy mixer (lemonade or soda water) creates a delightful, frothy top layer that looks and feels incredibly "fluffy." It’s a texture you won't find in most other cocktails.
The Great Debate: Gin vs. Rum Historically, there are two popular versions of the Fluffy Duck: one with gin and one with white rum.
  • The Gin version is a bit more botanical and dry, with the juniper notes of the gin cutting through the creaminess of the Advocaat.
  • The Rum version is sweeter and more tropical, with the rum lending a warm, vanilla-like finish.
Both versions are excellent, so choose your base spirit based on your personal preference!
Tips for a Perfect Fluffy Duck
  • The Fizz is Key: The choice between lemonade and soda water impacts the final drink. Lemonade makes it sweeter, while soda water keeps it drier and lets the other flavors shine.
  • Fresh Juice Always Wins: Always use freshly squeezed orange juice. It provides a brighter, more authentic citrus flavor that bottled juice can't match.
  • Master the Garnish: A simple orange slice or a bright maraschino cherry adds a pop of color that complements the drink's playful nature.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • What is Advocaat? Advocaat is a traditional Dutch liqueur made from eggs, sugar, and brandy. It has a rich, custard-like flavor and a thick, creamy consistency. It is most famous for its use in the Fluffy Duck and the festive Snowball cocktail.
  • Can I make a non-alcoholic version? Yes! You can replace the gin, Advocaat, and orange liqueur with a combination of eggnog, orange juice, and a splash of orange extract. Top it with a lemon-lime soda for the fizz.
