Irish Flag Shot
About the Irish Flag Shot
Green, white, gold — the Irish tricolor stacked in a glass. Green creme de menthe on the bottom, Baileys floated on the spoon in the middle, Grand Marnier for the gold top layer. It is the most demanding of the three-color layer shots but the most rewarding to pull off. Full method in our layering guide.
Substitutions
