- 1). Choose liquors, syrups or liqueurs that will look cool as a layered shot. The visual appeal is a big reason to make a layered shot and all golden liquor doesn't achieve that effect very well.
- 2). Organize the ingredients by gravity. The higher the gravity, the more the liquor will sink to the bottom of the shot glass. Not knowing the gravity of your liquor is a common reason many people's layered shots end up mixing.
- 3). Decide how much of each ingredient to pour. For example, if you have a liquor, liqueur and cream, you probably only need a thin layer of cream to float on top but more liquor on the bottom.
- 4). Pour the first layer directly into the shot glass. Don't let it pour on the sides of the glass or splash, otherwise the next ingredient will mix and disturb the layering effect.
- 5). Pour the second layer into the glass using the back of a bar spoon to pour the ingredient over the back of the spoon and along the side of the glass. Keep the spoon just above the last ingredient and pour slowly to make sure the layers don't mix.
- 6). Allow the layers to stabilize and then serve the shot.
