TheCalicoCat Posted June 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've never seen this beverage on a menu. Do all of the bartenders know this beverage? Ditto "duck fart." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted June 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yes to the first one. Doubtful on the second one. I don't recall even seeing anything served in an oversized shot glass. I had to look it up, so here goes: Pour 1 oz Kahlúa into a 3-ounce shot glass. Using the convex side of a bar spoon, slowly pour 1 oz Baileys over the Kahlúa, making sure not to disturb it, to create a layered effect. Using the same technique, layer the Crown Royal (1/2 to 3/4 oz) over the Baileys. As a general rule, if you drink something weird, it's your responsibility to know how to make it (This doesn't apply to the Wang Wang, since it's a well known HAL thing,) I found four variations on this drink, but this is supposed to be the original. An Alaskan original created more than 20 years ago at the Peanut Farm in Anchorage, this layered cocktail is said to be named for the sound you’ll make after drinking one. This recipe was featured as part of Chowhound's Drinks Around the World for New Year’s Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted June 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Wang Wangs are known by every stewed and bartender. I've tested them all ... They do have an internal menu option on the tablets now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2017 All the ship bartenders are familiar with what a Wang Wang is, and can make you one 1/4 oz Vodka 1/4 oz Gin 1/4 oz White Rum 1/4 oz Scotch 1/4 oz Bourbon 1/4 oz Tequila 1/4 Triple Sec 1/4 oz Brandy Top it off with Pineapple and Orange Juice Add a splash ofGrenadine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCalicoCat Posted June 25, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks, one of those might kill me! Now that I have the recipes (thanks again) I now want to know how a wang wang differs from a Long Island iced tea. (Internal curiosity, but your replies most welcomed!)

Sue from Canada Posted June 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Duck Fart sure looks tasty I had my first duck fart at the Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer, Alaska. Oooh, it was good. I plan on having another one next month when I'm up there again. I've also had a wang wang - only one and never again. I left the Ocean Bar giggling my way out and down the hall way.

Rare ski ww Posted June 26, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I've never had a Wang Wang but do plan on trying one on our up coming Alaska cruise on the NA in July. It sounds like a lot of booze but it's still only 2 oz. Not something I'll drink more then one at a sitting. More as something for a sail away.

That's too bad, I might need a bit of courage on that one & since you will be on the ship with me... (It sounds to me like an after dinner in the bar before bed time type of drink.)

Now that I have the recipes (thanks again) I now want to know how a wang wang differs from a Long Island iced tea. (Internal curiosity, but your replies most welcomed!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The standard Long Island Iced Tea recipe uses 3/4 oz of each liquor, but the big difference is that the Wang Wang's juices are replaced with 3/4 oz lemon juice, 3/4 oz simple syrup, and topped with cola. My guess is that the HAL version uses 1/4 ounce instead of 3/4 ounce portions. I've seen them and they're not served in a big enough glass or priced high enough for 3/4 ounce pours.

FredT Posted June 26, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Tried a "Wang Wang' on our last HAL cruise. Why not? we had the unlimited drink package... Had 2 a matter of fact. VERY tasty, but beware...

DAMshipscruiser Posted June 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 27, 2017 We attend the Mixology classes religiously while onboard. We've been told by a few bartenders on a few cruises during these classes that they no longer have the Wang Wang on the published menu because they've had a few incidents with the guests that drink too many and get plastered. They'll generally still make you one if you request it. Another of my favorites, the Pomegranate Ginger Drop, has been absent from the menu the last few times I've been aboard as well, but I've never had a problem getting the bartender to make me one regardless of the bar I'm in.
