Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 oz Kahlua
- 0.5 oz Hazelnut Liqueur
- 0.5 oz Baileys
Instructions
- Prepare the Shot Glass: Select a standard shot glass. This will ensure the correct proportions and create the layered effect. A clear glass is essential for showcasing the layered effect.
- Add Kahlua: Carefully pour 0.5 oz of Kahlua into the bottom of the shot glass. This forms the base layer and provides the coffee flavor. Pour slowly and steadily to ensure an even layer.
- Layer Hazelnut Liqueur: Slowly pour 0.5 oz of hazelnut liqueur over the back of a bar spoon, aiming for the inside wall of the shot glass. This technique helps the liqueur float on top of the Kahlua, creating a distinct layer. Hold the spoon close to the liquid’s surface to minimize splashing.
- Layer Baileys Irish Cream: Repeat the layering process with 0.5 oz of Baileys Irish Cream, slowly pouring it over the back of the bar spoon to create the top layer. Again, hold the spoon close to the liquid’s surface and pour slowly and steadily.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the shot immediately to enjoy the layered effect and the optimal flavor combination. The layers may begin to mix if left standing for too long.
Notes
- Pour slowly over a bar spoon for layering.
- Use chilled ingredients.
- Don’t mix the layers.
- Serve immediately after layering.
