Jam Donut
A delightful layered shot that uncannily mimics the flavor of a freshly baked raspberry jam donut coated in sugar. The combination of creamy Irish liqueur and sweet raspberry liqueur creates a perfect dessert-style shooter.
What it tastes like
The aroma leads with heavy cream and concentrated red berries. On the palate, the thick texture of the Irish cream yields to the syrupy sweetness of the raspberry liqueur. The sugar rim provides a granular texture that mimics a coated pastry. The finish is sugary with a lingering vanilla and berry flavor.
