Tequila Mixed Drinks: Freddy Fudpucker

Freddy Fudpucker: one of the most unusual tequila mixed drinks ever. Really, who would ever call a drink “Freddy Fudpucker”? Fortunately for us, whoever did invent it knew a thing or two about tequila cocktails.

A Freddy is an orange-based cocktail with a funny name. This recipe is also the first uploaded to Tequila Knight that uses Galliano liqueur.

Ever tried Galliano? It's a 42.3% alcohol with a sweet, herbal taste and a long, distinctive bottle. It’s most predominant flavor is vanilla, but it also uses anise, lavender, mint, cinnamon, and coriander.

Yup, a very complete spirit.

Galliano is a balanced liqueur praised by bartenders for the way it complexity to drinks without muting other flavors.

So, ready to mix something up?
