Ingredients
  

Main
  • 0.5 ounce butterscotch schnapps
  • 0.5 ounce Irish cream liqueur

Equipment

  • 1-ounce shot glass
  • Jigger or measuring spoon
  • Bar spoon

Method
 

  1. Place a chilled 1-ounce shot glass on a stable surface and gather all ingredients.
  2. Measure 0.5 ounce butterscotch schnapps with a jigger and pour it into the shot glass.
  3. Measure 0.5 ounce Irish cream liqueur.
  4. Slowly pour the Irish cream over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the schnapps, forming a distinct layer.
  5. Let the shot rest for about 10 seconds to allow the layers to settle.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy in one quick sip or small sips.

Notes

For the smoothest flavor, store both liqueurs in the freezer and chill the shot glass for at least 15 minutes before pouring.
