Irish Flag Shot Ingredients
It’s all about the layering. A layered shot is a drink that has two or more layers of liquor.
The layering process begins by pouring the first ingredient into the shot glass then carefully layer another spirit on top with no spillage between them so they can’t mix together.
Repeat this process until you have reached your desired height.
I use a bartender spoon to help with this part of the pouring process but you can use a teaspoon and some even use the side of a butter knife.
Here are the Irish Flag Shot Ingredients you will need.
- Green Creme De Menthe
- Bailey’s Irish Creme
- Grand Marnier
The great thing about this shot is all you need is shot glasses.
How To Make An Irish Flag Shot
Step 1:Pour the Creme De Menthe
Your first layer is the Creme de Menthe
Step 2: Second layer
Slowly pour the Baileys into the shot glass using a bartender spoon or a teaspoon to guide and aid in the pouring of this level.
Step 3: Third and last layer
Slowly pour the Grand Marnier again using a bartender spoon to assist.
