Notes
The measurements are approximate - Kahlúa = 50%, cherry brandy = 25% and Baileys = 25%Tips for making the Black Forest Cake shot:
If you are going to layer this shot, either use a cocktail spoon or regular iced coffee teaspoon - for the thin, tall shot glass, I have to use the iced coffee teaspoon because the cocktail spoon is too wide to fit in the glass
Always place the spoon bowl side up in the glass, against the side
Using a pourer controls the pour, which is critical to layering any shot. But if you do use a pourer, just know that you will have to eyeball your quantities because in that case, they’re coming straight out of the bottle, unmeasured
As with all layered shots, you need to place the heaviest liquor on the bottom and work your way up to the lightest
If you can use different shot glasses, do! I always like showcasing the shots in different ways
