Equipment

Ingredients
- .33 oz Irish Cream
- .33 oz Vodka
- .33 oz Lime Juice or
- .33 oz Lemon Juice
- 3-4 drops Grenadine Syrup
Instructions
Fill the Shot Glass:
- Fill a large shot glass with 2/3 oz of vodka. The vodka provides the strong base for the shot.
Add Lime Juice:
- Add 1/3 oz of lime juice to the vodka in the shot glass. The lime juice adds a sour element that balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Create the Brain Effect:
- Using a syringe or dropper, slowly add 1/3 oz of Irish cream into the shot. As the Irish cream interacts with the lime juice, it will curdle and form a brain-like structure at the bottom of the glass, creating a spooky visual effect.
Add Grenadine for Blood Effect:
- Carefully add 3-4 drops of grenadine syrup. The grenadine will sink through the Irish cream and add a blood-like appearance to the shot.
Serve and Enjoy:
