Buttery Nipple Recipe

Butterscotch schnapps: A sweet, buttery liqueur that forms the base layer of the shot.

Irish cream liqueur: A creamy, slightly chocolatey liqueur that is layered on top for a rich finish.

When layering the irish cream liqueur over the butterscotch schnapps, make sure to pour it slowly over the back of a spoon. This technique helps create a distinct separation between the two liquors, resulting in a visually appealing shot.

• For the irish cream liqueur, it's best to add it just before serving to maintain the layered effect. However, if you must prepare it ahead, layer it on top of the butterscotch schnapps and cover the shot glasses with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.

• Avoid freezing the Buttery Nipple shots as the irish cream liqueur may separate and lose its creamy texture. Instead, keep the ingredients chilled in the refrigerator.
