Tools You’ll Need

- Clear shot glasses are ideal for showcasing the beautiful layers of this drink.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools: butterscotch schnapps, Baileys Irish Cream, a bar spoon, a measuring jigger, and clear shot glasses.
- Chill your shot glasses and liqueurs beforehand for a refreshing, cold drink.
- Pro Tip: A chilled glass not only enhances the drink's flavor but also helps maintain the distinct layers.
Step 2: Measure the Ingredients
- Using a jigger, pour 1 ounce of butterscotch schnapps into the bottom of the shot glass.
- Set aside 1 ounce of Baileys Irish Cream, ready for layering.
- Pro Tip: Accurate measurements are key to achieving the perfect balance of flavors in this recipe.
Step 3: Create the Layered Effect
- Hold a bar spoon upside down over the schnapps, positioning it just above the liquid's surface.
- Slowly and gently pour the Baileys Irish Cream over the back of the spoon. The spoon will diffuse the liquid, allowing it to float on top of the schnapps without mixing.
- Continue pouring until the Baileys forms a distinct, creamy layer over the schnapps.
- Pro Tip: Pouring too quickly can cause the layers to mix, so take your time for a clean, professional look.
Step 4: Add Optional Garnishes
- Top the drink with a small dollop of whipped cream for a festive touch.
- Drizzle caramel over the top or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes for added flavor and visual appeal.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the layered shot immediately to preserve its beautiful presentation.
- Encourage guests to sip slowly or enjoy it as a single shot to fully appreciate the creamy, sweet flavors.
