How to make a 747
To make a 747, layer carefully into a shot glass: ½ oz Kahlua, ½ oz Baileys irish cream and ½ oz Frangelico.
You'll need
- Kahlua½ oz
- Baileys irish cream½ oz
- Frangelico½ oz
Instructions
- 1
Pour the ingredients into a shot glass one at a time, heaviest first (usually the sweetest, lowest-proof liquid) and lightest last.
- 2
Pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink, so each layer floats on the one below.
- 3
Serve straight away, before the layers mix.
Why pour slowly? Heavier liquids sink, so pouring gently over a spoon lets each layer float on the one below.
