How to make a Bruce's Puce

To make a Bruce's Puce, layer carefully into a shot glass: grenadine, Kahlua and Baileys irish cream.

You'll need

1 drink

Pairs well with: Grenadine · All syrups

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the ingredients into a shot glass one at a time, heaviest first (usually the sweetest, lowest-proof liquid) and lightest last.

  2. 2

    Pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink, so each layer floats on the one below.

  3. 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.
