Chocolate Covered Cherry Shot

I love making layered shot recipes. They look like you spent so much time crafting them but are actually really easy to make.


Who would have thought the bartending skills I learned 25 years ago at Bartending School would continue to pay off today.

One of the things they taught was how to properly pour layered shooters. The importance of using the right tools and having a steady hand while pouring.

The most important tip I can give you is to pour slowly over the back of the spoon. You want the liquid to slowly pour on top so it doesn't splash into the layer below it.

Ingredients

  • Grenadine
  • Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur
  • Bailey's Irish Cream

Optional Garnish - Maraschino cherry or chocolate covered cherry

Equipment Needed

2 ounce shot glasses - We love these 2 oz shot glasses especially for layered shots.

Bar Spoon - Bar spoons help to create layers in the cocktail shot. They fit perfectly into the cocktail shot glass.

OXO angled jiggers - these are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.

How to make a Chocolate Covered Cherry Shot

Step 1 - Pour grenadine in the bottom of the shot glass.

Step 2 - Pour Kahlua slowly over the back of a bartending spoon over the grenadine. Making sure to pour slowly so it doesn't splash.

Step 3 - Rotate the shot glass so you pour down the opposite side of the glass. Wipe off the bartending spoon before pouring the next layer.

By rotating the shot glass you don't mix into any splashes of the Kahlua.

Slowly pour Bailey's Irish Cream over the back of the spoon to create the final layer.

Cheers

Recipe Tips

If your drink does not layer perfectly don't worry it will still taste amazing. If you are not worried about the layers you can combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake them together.

You can chill the ingredients ahead of time if you want a cold cocktail shot.

When making a layered shot you want to pour the heaviest liquor or mixer in first and work your way up.

You can use a pourer on the bottle of we like to use these angled jiggers which make it easy to measure the amount of liquid and pour slowly.

This is a fantastic Christmas Party Cocktail or Valentine's Day Cocktail.
