Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 oz Grenadine
  • 1/2 oz Banana Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Blue Curacao
  • Ice optional, for chilling ingredients

Equipment

  • Shot glass 
  • Jigger or measuring tool 
  • Bar spoon (or the back of a regular spoon) 
  • Small pouring container (optional) 
  • Cocktail shaker (optional, for chilling ingredients before layering)

Method
 

Step 1: Pour the Grenadine
  1. Add the grenadine to the bottom of a shot glass. This creates the red base layer and provides the foundation for the drink.
Step 2: Add the Banana Liqueur
  1. Slowly pour the banana liqueur over the back of a spoon so it gently rests on top of the grenadine. This creates the yellow middle layer.
Step 3: Layer the Blue Curacao
  1. Using the same spoon technique, carefully pour the blue curacao over the banana liqueur to form the blue top layer.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
  1. Once all three layers are clearly visible, serve the shot right away and enjoy its colorful superhero-inspired appearance.

Notes

Once the layers are formed, avoid shaking or moving the glass excessively, as this can blur the distinct color bands.
