Ingredients
-
0.5 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
-
0.5 oz Tequila Rose (strawberry cream liqueur)
-
0.5 oz half-and-half (or heavy cream for a richer version)
-
Ice (for chilling)
-
1 maraschino cherry, for garnish
Instructions
-
Chill the shot glass:
Place your shot glasses in the freezer for at least 5 minutes to help keep the layers neat and visually striking. -
Shake the cream layer:
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the Tequila Rose and half-and-half. Shake well until the mixture is cold and slightly thickened. -
Layer the shot:
Pour the coffee liqueur into the bottom of the chilled shot glass. Then, using the back of a spoon, slowly pour the strawberry cream mixture on top to create beautiful layers. -
Garnish:
Top with a maraschino cherry, either on a cocktail pick or placed gently on the rim. -
Serve immediately:
These shots are best enjoyed fresh, while cold and perfectly layered.
Notes
-
For a richer texture, substitute heavy cream for the half-and-half.
-
The key to perfect layering is pouring slowly over the back of a spoon—patience makes it pretty!
-
Want to scale it up? Just multiply the ingredients and batch shake the cream layer for a whole tray of shots.
-
Pre-chill everything (even your liqueurs!) for extra crisp layers.
-
These are best served right away, but you can prep the cream layer in advance and store it chilled for up to 24 hours.
