This shot uses a layered technique so you’ll want to pour it slow. It helps to pour the liquor over a spoon to ensure it drips in.

Once you get the layered look, drop in a couple splashes of grenadine. The heaviness of the grenadine pulls down the layered liquors, leaving you with a spooky, lava lamp vibe.

Ingredients:

  • Peach Schnapps
  • Creme de Menthe (Green, not clear!)
  • Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • Grenadine

Bloody Mary

You can summon her by chanting her name in front of a mirror, but wouldn’t you rather summon this drink?

  • 1⁄4 oz Worcestershire sauce
