Four Equal Layers, One Main Challenge

The recipe is easy to remember, but clean separation depends on slow pouring and ingredient density. No flame is required.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Use another quality orange liqueur in place of Cointreau.
  • Serve mixed if presentation is not important.

Helpful Tips

  • Chill all four ingredients before building.
  • Pour slowly over the back of a spoon.
  • Keep the spoon close to the previous layer.
  • Let each layer settle before adding the next.
  • Serve immediately without igniting the drink.
