Notes

Helpful tips
  • While you could substitute different brands of Irish cream for Bailey's and melon liqueur for Midori, there's not a substitute for Jagermeister brand that I'm aware of. Leave me a comment if you know otherwise.
  • How to layer a shot: Use either a cocktail spoon or a regular iced coffee teaspoon. I prefer to use the cocktail spoon but 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.
  • With the back of a spoon facing up, place it in and against the side of the glass. You will then slowly pour the liquid over the bowl and into the glass.
  • Invest in a few pourers. This will help you with your layering.
  • 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. So, in this case, going by the glass, you will have 1/3 of each liqueur in the glass - so as equal as you can get.
  • When layering shots, you place the heaviest liquor on the bottom and work your way up in weight.
  • Even though I have a lot of experience layering shots, sometimes it depends on the shot glass on how clear the layers are. The tall glass shows the layers better than the two shorter glasses. Don't worry if you don't get clear margins in the layers. This one is a challenge, and you can see that I wasn't quite successful.
