Begin by pouring the grenadine syrup into a shot glass, filling it about one-third of the way.
Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour the green crème de menthe over the grenadine to create a layered effect.
Repeat the layering process with the peppermint schnapps, pouring gently over the crème de menthe to avoid mixing the layers.
If desired, rim the shot glass with crushed candy canes for an extra festive touch.
Pro Tips
- To ensure clean, distinct layers, pour each ingredient slowly over the back of a spoon, close to the glass’s edge.
- Chill each ingredient beforehand for a cooler, more refreshing shot.
- Experiment with the layering by adjusting the amount of each ingredient to create different color ratios.
