FAQs About the Buttery Nipple Shot
Why are the layers separating?
The different densities of the liqueurs create the layered look. Pour the Baileys slowly over the back of a spoon so it floats on top.
Can I use a different Irish cream?
Yes. Baileys is the classic choice, but any Irish cream liqueur will work.
Can I make these ahead of time?
I wouldn’t. These shots look best when freshly layered, and they only take a minute or two to make.
