Notes

Helpful tips

How to layer a shot: Use either a cocktail spoon or a regular iced coffee teaspoon. Always place the spoon upside down with the bowl-side facing up in and against the side of the glass. You will then slowly pour the liquid over the bowl and into the glass.
And even though you won't need a pourer to help layer this shot, if you plan to serve a variety of layered shots, Invest in a few pourers. This will help you with your layering. Here's why: using a pourer helps to control the pour, which is critical to layering any shot. But if you do use a pourer, you will have to eyeball your quantities because they’re coming straight out of the bottle, unmeasured.
This is important. You need to add the ingredients in this order - vodka, juice, and grenadine. Even though the grenadine will sink to the bottom, if you put it in first, it will just mix with the rest of the ingredients and not sink and layer like it's supposed to.
