Golden Eye Shot – Baileys & Goldschlager Layered Shooter
A shimmering layered shooter that pairs creamy Baileys Irish Cream with spicy Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps. The Golden Eye Shot dazzles with gold flakes and smooth sweetness in every sip.
Why This Shot Stands Out
The Golden Eye Shot is a quick, two-ingredient crowd-pleaser that looks luxurious yet mixes in seconds. Goldschlager brings a warm cinnamon sparkle, while Baileys floats on top for a creamy finish that tastes like dessert and fire rolled into one.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- Goldschlager (cinnamon schnapps) – provides spicy heat and golden shimmer.
- Baileys Irish Cream – adds velvety sweetness and smooth texture.
Equipment
- Shot glass
- Bar spoon (for layering)
How to Serve It Best
Layer the Baileys gently over the Goldschlager so the gold flakes shine through. Serve immediately while the layers remain distinct and icy-cold.
Variations & Twists
- Swap Baileys for RumChata for a cinnamon-latte vibe.
- Add a dash of espresso liqueur between layers for extra depth.
- For a holiday look, dust the rim with edible gold glitter or cinnamon sugar.
Bartender Tip
Chill both liqueurs before pouring — it helps the layers stay clean.
Avoid stirring; the visual contrast is half the magic.
