Brainteaser

Brainteaser cocktail

A complex layered shot that plays with density and texture. Irish cream and Sambuca form the base layers, while a drop of Advocaat suspends in the middle like a floating brain. It features a specific drinking ritual involving a straw to maximize the experience of flavors and vapors.

Ingredients

How to Make It

  1. Pour the Erin Cream into a shot glass to form the bottom layer.
  2. Gently layer the White Sambuca on top of the cream using the back of a spoon to prevent mixing.
  3. Carefully drop the Advocaat into the center of the glass; it should settle and suspend in the middle of the two layers.
  4. To drink, insert a straw to suck up the Advocaat 'brain' first.
  5. Quickly shoot the remaining liquid.
  6. Finally, use the straw to inhale the vapors remaining in the glass.
