How to layer a shot

A layered shot is a shot where the ingredients set one on top of the other with distinct lines between them. Layering is made possible because different ingredients or liquids have different densities.

The heavier the liquid is the more dense it is. The heaviest liquids will sit on the bottom of the shot and the lightest will sit on the top.

You do have to be careful as you layer the liquids so that they don’t mix together. To do this you want to make sure you pour very very slowly and use a bar spoon to break the fall of the liquid.
