Instructions
Start with the Kahlua:
- Pour Kahlua into a shot glass until it's about half full.
Layer the schnapps:
- Using an inverted spoon, slowly pour in the peppermint schnapps until the glass is about ¾ full. If done right, the schnapps will flow under the Kahlua, creating a clear layer.
Top with Irish cream:
- Using the spoon again, carefully add the Irish cream to create the final layer.
Serve:
- Hand it over or enjoy it yourself right away!

Irish cream adds that extra touch of indulgence, making it a smooth, dessert-like experience. For best results, chill your ingredients before layering.
