Red White and Blue Bombpop Shot
An adults-only throwback to a childhood summer treat!
Ingredients
1 part Blue Curacao
1 part Peach Schnapps
1 part Grenadine
Preparation
Pour the grenadine into the bottom of the shot glass, taking care not to get it on the sides.
Gently float the peach schnapps over the grenadine.
Gently top off the shot glass with the blue curacao.
Voila!
Tips
This is a layered shot the requires a little finesse, so each liqueur should be gently floated on top of the previous layer.
Try pouring the liqueur over the back of a spoon to maintain the layered look of the colors.
