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.

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.

Serving Suggestion

Serve shots immediately after preparation. Prepare all glasses in advance, pour quickly, and encourage guests to enjoy together for the best social experience.
