Irish Flag

Ingredients

1/3 shot green crème de menthen 1/3 shot Irish creamn 1/3 shot Licor

Directions

Carefully and slowly layer the ingredients in order into a tall, narrow shot glass.

"Layering shots is a lost art, but well–worth the effort. To get the full layering effect, it’s best to slowly pour the ingredients over the back of a spoon and into the shot glass to prevent overpour. Be sure to use a tall, slim shot glass because it will hold the ingredients in place better than a wide shot glass.” —Josh Binsfeld, bartender at the Shannon Rose, Ramsey.
