CLASSIC STRUCTURE

What is usually in it

1/3 oz Baileys irish cream

1/3 oz Kahlua

1/3 oz Sambuca

Method: This is a layered shot. First pour the Bailey's into the shot glass. Then take an upside down spoon and touch it to the inside wall of the glass. Carefully add the Kahlua. Repeat this process for the Sambuca. If done properly, the alcohol will stay separated and resemble a bumble bee. Enjoy!!!
Glass: Shot glass
Garnish: Classic garnish
