Ingredients
- 1 oz grenadine
- 1 oz crème de menthe
- 1 oz peppermint schnapps
- Crushed candy canes for garnish (optional)

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.
