Tips For Making An Alien Brain Hemorrhage Shot
There are a few ways to layer the Irish Cream Liqueur on the Peach Schnapps. Just gently pouring it will work, but you could also grab a spoon (like a bar spoon), and slowly pour the Irish Cream onto the back of the spoon while you hold it against the inside of the shot glass.
Serve the shot immediately, so the customer can watch the Grenadine and Blue Curaçao sink through the drink, causing the "Brain Hemorrhage" effect.
The Irish cream sits on top of the peach schnapps because it is less dense. The Grenadine and Blue Curaçao fall through, because they are more dense.
