Instructions

  1. Begin by chilling your shot glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Using a jigger, pour 1/2 ounce of coffee liqueur into the bottom of the chilled shot glass.
  3. Take a bar spoon and hold it upside down over the shot glass, allowing the back of the spoon to rest just above the coffee liqueur layer.
  4. Slowly pour 1/2 ounce of Irish cream liqueur over the back of the spoon. This technique helps to create a distinct layer by reducing the force of the pour.
  5. Repeat the layering process with 1/2 ounce of orange liqueur, gently pouring it over the back of the spoon to achieve a beautiful third layer.
  6. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings or a coffee bean on top for an extra touch of elegance.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the experience of sipping through the layers!
