Slippery Nipples Recipe

Baileys irish cream: A creamy liqueur made with Irish whiskey and cream, adding a rich and smooth texture to the drink.

Butterscotch schnapps: A sweet, buttery liqueur that brings a rich, caramel-like flavor to the cocktail.

Grenadine: A sweet, red syrup made from pomegranate juice, used to add a dash of color and sweetness.

When layering the baileys irish cream over the butterscotch schnapps, use a bar spoon to achieve a clean separation. Hold the spoon upside down just above the surface of the schnapps and pour the baileys slowly over the back of the spoon. This technique helps the liquors to layer properly without mixing, creating a visually appealing shot.

• Ensure the baileys irish cream and butterscotch schnapps are stored in a cool, dark place. Exposure to light and heat can degrade the quality of these liqueurs.
• Keep the grenadine tightly sealed and stored in the refrigerator once opened. This will maintain its vibrant color and flavor.
• If you have leftover mixed Slippery Nipples, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 24 hours for the best taste.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the baileys irish cream and butterscotch schnapps separately. Use ice cube trays to freeze small portions, making it easy to thaw just what you need.
• When ready to serve, thaw the frozen liqueurs in the refrigerator. Avoid microwaving as it can alter the flavor and texture.
• Always shake or stir the liqueurs well after thawing to ensure a smooth consistency.
• Label your containers with the date of storage to keep track of freshness.
• Avoid freezing the grenadine as it can become too thick and syrupy. Instead, store it in the refrigerator and add it fresh when serving.

• If you find yourself with leftover Slippery Nipples shots, the best way to reheat them is to avoid reheating altogether. These delightful concoctions are best enjoyed cold. However, if you must bring them back to life, follow these steps:
  • Refrigeration: Store the leftover shots in the refrigerator. This keeps the baileys irish cream and butterscotch schnapps at a consistent temperature, preserving their flavors.
  • Chill the Glass: Before serving, chill your shot glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This enhances the cold sensation and makes the drink more refreshing.
  • Stir Gently: If the layers have mixed or the grenadine has settled, give the shot a gentle stir with a small spoon or a cocktail stirrer to redistribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Serve Cold: Pour the mixture back into the chilled shot glasses and enjoy immediately. The cold temperature will help maintain the creamy texture and the delightful sweetness of the butterscotch schnapps and baileys irish cream.

Remember, Slippery Nipples are best when freshly made, so try to enjoy them in one go for the ultimate experience!
