What is a Slippery Nipple made of?

As I mentioned before, there are tons of variations of the Slippery Nipple cocktail. If you like shots made with Baileys then you will love the Slippery Nipple and possible all of the different versions there are of this type of shot. 

The most well-known Slippery Nipple Shot contains the following:

• 1/2 shot glass Sambuca
• 1/2 shot glass Baileys Irish Cream

What tools do I need to make a Slippery Nipple?

You really don’t need much in order to make shots and the Slippery Nipple shot is no exception. You don’t need a cocktail shaker or a strainer which makes a change from most mixed drinks. 

All you need is a shot glass and a steady hand to pour the drinks in order. 

How To Make The Slippery Nipple 

Step 1:Layer the alcohol

Pour the Sambuca into a shot glass, then pour the Baileys on top so that the two liquids do not mix.

Step 4: Garnish

The classic garnish for the slippery nipple is a cherry. Another option is to add a quick squirt of whipped cream to the top of your shot.

Variations of the Slippery Nipple Recipe

There are tons of options you can make if you don’t like Sambuca, here are my favorite alternatives:

Dirty Nipple Shot Recipe

If you are not a fan of Sambuca, you can try the Dirty Nipple shot instead. Make sure to pour the alcohol in order to create the laying effect. 

• 1/3 Shot Glass Kahlua
• 1/3 shot glass Butterscotch Schnapps
• Top the glass with Baileys/Irish Cream

A lot of people wonder if Kahlua and Baileys are the same. The truth is, they are totally different.

Baileys is an Irish whisky based creamy liqueur  whereas, Kahlua is a Mexican coffee liqueur made with rum and coffee. 

Buttery Nipple Shot

Take out the Kahlua and you find yourself with a Buttery Nipple shot recipe. This shot is named after the tasty Butterscotch Schnapps that makes up the majority of this drink. 

• 1 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps
• 1/2 ounce Baileys Irish Cream

Golden Nipple Shot

Another shot variation is the Golden Nipple. It is nice if you like the taste of cinnamon and is a great shot for the fall and winter. 

• 1/2 shot glass Goldschlager
• 1/2 shot glass Irish Cream/Baileys
