Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 0.5 oz Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
- 0.5 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier)
Instructions
Start with a clean, clear shot glass to highlight the layering effect of the cocktail.
Pour 0.5 oz of coffee liqueur into the shot glass. This will serve as the bottom layer of the drink because it is the heaviest.
Using the back of a bar spoon to assist with layering, slowly pour 0.5 oz of Irish cream liqueur over the coffee liqueur. Be careful to pour gently to keep the layers distinct.
Repeat the process with the orange liqueur, slowly pouring 0.5 oz over the Irish cream layer using the back of the spoon. Ensure a steady hand to maintain the layered appearance.
Serve immediately and enjoy the beautiful presentation before consuming the shot!
