Ingredients

  • 1 oz grenadine syrup
  • 1 oz green crème de menthe
  • 1 oz peppermint schnapps
  • Crushed candy canes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
