Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce peach schnapps chilled
  • 1/4 ounce Irish cream liqueur Bailey's
  • 1 grenadine syrup splash

Instructions

  • Pour the peach schnapps into a shot glass.
  • Using a spoon, slowly pour the Irish cream liqueur over the schnapps. Be sure to pour it gently so that it clumps and curdles on top of the schnapps, creating the appearance of a brain membrane.
  • Finally, pour a splash of grenadine syrup on top of the Irish cream. The grenadine will sink to the bottom of the glass and form a red layer, resembling a blood clot.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Pour the Irish cream gently and slowly to achieve the curdled brain effect.
  • Use a chilled schnapps base to keep the layers more distinct.
  • A dropper or straw can help control the grenadine for a more dramatic “blood clot” look.
