Layered Shot Recipes

Layered shot recipes with floated liqueurs, clear lines, and back-of-the-spoon technique.

How to use this layered shots archive

Layered shot recipes with floated liqueurs, clear lines, and back-of-the-spoon technique. Use these recipes as a starting point, then read the ingredient list and method before you commit to a bottle or a garnish. Small builds reward measured pours and a little advance prep.

This archive groups recipes by the flavor, technique, or occasion they have in common—not by a single required bottle. That makes it useful when you are planning a round, choosing a party-friendly direction, or looking for a different use for ingredients already in your home bar.
