What You’ll Need

Ingredients

  • Jägermeister – brings a bold herbal backbone with hints of spice and roots.
  • Baileys Irish Cream – adds velvety sweetness and a smooth finish.

Equipment

  • Shot glass
  • Bar spoon (for layering)

Cream Meets Herbal Edge

This shooter stands out because it’s all about contrast: the thick, sweet cream liqueur balancing against the sharp, bitter herbs of Jägermeister. Layered together, they look striking in the glass and deliver a quick burst of flavor.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Cream Liqueur Swap: Carolans or Amarula work well in place of Baileys.
  • Herbal Twist: Try swapping Jägermeister with Fernet-Branca for a stronger bitter edge.
  • Chilled Blend: Skip layering and shake both with ice for a frothier texture.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill both ingredients before pouring for crisp layers.
  • Always pour the Baileys slowly over the back of a spoon to avoid mixing.
  • Best served as a party shooter — line up several glasses for a dramatic pour.
