Ingredients
- 3/4 ounce Irish cream liqueur such as Baileys
- 3/4 ounce lime juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Pour the Irish cream liqueur into a standard shot glass. It should be about half full.
- Slowly layer the lime juice on top by gently pouring it over the back of a spoon, or just pour it directly into the glass.
- Serve immediately as a shot. For the classic experience, drink the mixture in one go and swish it slightly in your mouth—the lime juice will cause the cream to curdle, creating the texture that gives this drink its name.
