Heather's Helpful Hints

  • Layering: Keep in mind that different brands of liquor may not layer as well, depending on the amount of sugar. Most spirits have a similar density, but they can vary slightly. 
  • Variations: If you don't want layers, simply shake the ingredients and pour them into a glass. 
  • Storage: Keep in mind that this shot cannot be stored in the freezer. Irish Cream will freeze slightly, so it's best to add this last if your popping the drink into the freezer.
