Tips for making a Butterfinger shot:

Whenever you are pouring a layered shot, you need to put the heaviest liquor on the bottom, working your way up to the lightest on the top. So for the Butterfinger shot, Kahlúa is the heaviest and goes in first, then layer in butterscotch schnapps, then the Baileys
One tool you definitely need for layering is either a regular iced coffee teaspoon or a cocktail spoon. I prefer the cocktail spoon since it has a wider bowl
I also prefer to use pourers, like the ones you see in bars, because they control the flow of liquor, allowing you to pour slowly, which is required for layered shots
Just know when you layer shots, you can measure the first ingredient, but if you use a pourer, you will just eyeball the other amounts. In this case with three ingredients, each ingredient will be 1/3
When layering, place your spoon bowl side up against the side of the glass, but above the liquid
Measure how many ounces are in your shot glasses - and adjust the amount of ingredients accordingly (equal thirds)
