After Five

After Five

Peppermint schnapps slid beneath Kahlua, then capped with Baileys in three careful layers. Tastes like an after-dinner mint with an agenda.

Ingredients

  • Irish Cream· not in your bar

    Or swap: Amarula — fruitier, works 1:1

  • Coffee Liqueur· not in your bar

    Or swap: Chocolate Liqueur — leans mocha, Coffee Brandy — drier, boozier

  • Peppermint Schnapps· not in your bar

    Or swap: White Crème de Menthe — sweeter, gentler

Instructions

  1. Pour Kahlua into shot glass to about 1/2 full.

  2. 2. Using a spoon(inverted), slowly pour in the Peppermint Schnapps until glass is about 3/4 full.

  3. Done correctly, the Schnapps will flow under the Kahlua for a clear layer.

  4. 3. Again using a spoon, but this time right side up, slowly top off the glass with a layer of Bailey's.

  5. Be careful to place the spoon right at the top of the Kahlua layer and to raise it as the glass fills up.

  6. Done correctly, this will provide a layer of Bailey's floating over the Kahlua.

  7. 4. Toss it down all at once for something like a Peppermint Pattie, WITH A BANG!!!

  8. NOTE: Best if all ingredients are chilled.
