Golden Eye - Baileys & Goldschläger Layered Cinnamon Shot

The Golden Eye stacks Goldschläger and Baileys Irish Cream into a two-layer shooter. The cinnamon liqueur brings sweetness, spice, and a stronger alcoholic edge, while the Irish cream softens the finish and creates the contrasting top layer.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Goldschläger - supplies cinnamon spice, sweetness, and the gold-flake visual.
• Baileys Irish Cream - adds creamy sweetness and the contrasting upper layer.

Another cinnamon schnapps can replace Goldschläger, though the appearance will change. Another Irish cream can replace Baileys.

Equipment

• Shot Glass
• Bar spoon
• Jigger

Two Layers, One Precise Pour

The ingredient list is simple, but the presentation depends on pouring the Irish cream slowly over a spoon. Chilled ingredients and a low, controlled pour make separation easier.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use another cinnamon schnapps for a similar flavor without gold flakes.
• Replace Baileys with another Irish cream.
• Add a thin coffee-liqueur base for a three-layer dessert variation.
• Shake the two ingredients with ice if presentation is not important.

Helpful Tips

• Chill both bottles before building.
• Keep the spoon close to the lower layer.
• Pour the Baileys slowly.
• Use a clear shot glass.
• Serve immediately after layering.
