Ingredients
- 0.33 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 0.33 oz Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
- 0.33 oz Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
Directions
Step 1
Place a shot glass on a flat surface and ensure it is clean and dry for optimal layering.
Step 2
Pour 1/3 oz of coffee liqueur into the bottom of the shot glass as the first layer. Use a steady hand to pour directly into the center of the glass to minimize splashing.
Step 3
Slowly pour 1/3 oz of Irish cream liqueur over the back of a bar spoon held just above the surface of the coffee liqueur. This will allow the Irish cream to gently float on top and form the second layer.
Step 4
Repeat the same layering technique with 1/3 oz of orange liqueur, slowly pouring it over the back of the bar spoon to create the third and final layer.
Step 5
Take a moment to admire the distinct layers: dark coffee liqueur at the bottom, creamy Irish cream in the middle, and golden-orange liqueur on top. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
