- Peppermint schnappsTo taste
- KahluaTo taste
- Baileys irish creamTo taste
Instructions
1. Pour Kahlua into shot glass to about 1/2 full. 2. Using a spoon(inverted), slowly pour in the Peppermint Schnapps until glass is about 3/4 full. Done correctly, the Schnapps will flow under the Kahlua for a clear layer. 3. Again using a spoon, but this time right side up, slowly top off the glass with a layer of Bailey's. Be careful to place the spoon right at the top of the Kahlua layer and to raise it as the glass fills up. Done correctly, this will provide a layer of Bailey's floating over the Kahlua. 4. Toss it down all at once for something like a Peppermint Pattie, WITH A BANG!!! NOTE: Best if all ingredients are chilled

Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Keep shot glasses in the freezer for a smooth, chilled experience. Cold glass also helps layered shots maintain their distinct layers longer.
Fresh Herb Tip
Gently slap fresh herbs between your palms before adding to your drink. This releases essential oils and aromatics without bruising the leaves or creating bitter flavors.
Dairy Tip
When using cream or milk, shake vigorously with ice to properly emulsify and chill. Consider using heavy cream for a richer texture that floats beautifully on layered drinks.
