Classic Buttery Nipple Recipe
🍹 Ingredients:
- 25ml Butterscotch schnapps
- 25ml Baileys Irish Cream
- Ice (optional, for chilling the glass)
📝 Instructions:
- Chill your shot glass
Pop it in the freezer or fill it with ice water for a minute before serving. - Pour the butterscotch schnapps
Gently pour 25ml into the bottom of the shot glass. - Layer the Baileys
Using the back of a spoon, slowly pour 25ml of Baileys Irish Cream over the schnapps to create a layered effect. - Serve immediately
Drink it as a shooter or sip slowly to enjoy the smooth blend.
Tips for Perfect Layering
- Use a bar spoon or teaspoon turned upside down just above the schnapps to slow the pour and create a clean layer.
- Pour slowly and steadily — rushing will mix the layers.
- Use chilled liqueurs for better texture and layering.
