    Alien Brain Hemorrhage – a spooky shot

    Jump to Recipe

    An Alien Brain hemorrhage shot is a perfect addition to any Halloween or other spooky themed party. It is one of the most elaborate shots out there but can be made pretty easily if you follow a few tricks.

    What is a alien brain hemorrhage shot?

    An alien Brain hemorrhage shot is made from peach schnapps, Irish cream, Blue Curacao and grenadine. This shot is a layered shot and does take a little bit of practice to get right.

    This shot, admittedly, is not one of my favorite tasting shots. It definitely has a strong peach flavor with a sweet and creamy mix. Which, if you enjoy peach you will probably enjoy this.

    However, even if peach isn’t your thing, the fantastic look of this shot is definitely worth trying. It’s a perfect shot for any Halloween party or other spooky themed get together. But, quite frankly, it works even if you just want to impress your guests with your shot making skills.

    This shot has a few different variations including the monkey brain shot and the brain hemorrhage shot.

    if you’ve mastered other layered shots such as the sexy alligator, the blowjob shot, the duck fart shot then you might be ready to increase your layering skills with this shot.

    How to make this drink:

    Making this drink is all about patience and going slowly so that you get all of your layering right.

    Equipment:

    • pour spouts
    • Shot glasses
    • jigger
    • bar spoon

    Ingredients:

    • ¾oz peach schnapps
    • ½ oz Irish cream (we used Bailey’s)
    • drizzle of grenadine
    • Drizzle of blue curacao

    Instructions:

    Step one

    As you get started, you will want to gather all of your equipment as well as all of your ingredients together so that you are ready to go.

    Step two

    First up is the peach schnapps. Take your jigger and measure ¾ of an ounce of peach schnapps and pour it into your shot glass.

    Step three

    Next you are going to layer in your Irish cream. Measure ½ oz of Irish cream into your jigger.

    Take your bar spoon and place it upside down in your shot glass just above the top edge of your peach schnapps. Next, very slowly pour your Irish cream over the back of your bar spoon so that it sits just at the top of your peach schnapps. It should mostly float on top but some of it will float down into the peach schnapps causing the brain looking effect.

    Step four

    Next, again using the back of your bar spoon placed just above the top line of your Irish cream drizzle a small amount of Blue Curacao so there is a thin layer over the top.

    The Blue Curacao should float at the very top of your shot.

    Step Five

    Finally, to add a little blood red to your shot, place the bar spoon again upside down at the very top level of your shot glass. Then, drizzle just a little bit of grenadine over the back of the bar spoon.

    Due to the density of the grenadine it should slowly float to the very bottom of the shot.

    Step six

    Before you take the shot, enjoy the fantastic spooky look.

    When you’re ready, knock it back and enjoy!
