CLASSIC · IRISH CREAM

Brainteaser

The layering works because of density differences: Irish cream is the heaviest, Advocaat sits in the middle, and Sambuca floats on top - pour each slowly over the back of a bar spoon to keep the layers clean and distinct.

Method
  1. 1

    Pour 30ml Irish cream into the bottom of a shot glass.

  2. 2

    Slowly pour 5ml Advocaat over the back of a bar spoon so it floats as the middle layer.

  3. 3

    Slowly pour 30ml Sambuca over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top.

  4. 4

    To drink: insert a straw to the bottom and sip up the Irish cream first, then take the shot of the remaining layers, then inhale the lingering Sambuca vapors through the straw.
