I've actually toyed around with the idea of creating a pop shot Flaming Lamborghini instead of a drink shot, and it only came to me today the possibility of doing something like that. Essentially, the densities of the different liqueurs involved do allow the creation and separation of different layers.
The whole idea of this new shot will probably need a larger shot glass of course, probably something with a capacity of around 100ml, but most importantly it has to be tall and thin, allowing the different layers to be defined.
So, the bottom layer is Kahlua, which of course can be substituted by Tia Maria or any other coffee liqueur if you prefer. This will provide a substantial base for this shot, so if you're feeling good, feel free to add more than the stipulated 30ml.
The second layer, is one of my all-time favourite creamed liqueurs of all time. Baileys Irish Cream. You can use the all natural one, though I personally feel this is the right opportunity to flaunt your Irish Cream Creme Caramel. The sweetness from the caramel combines with the coffee to give you a quite refreshing aftertaste. Sugar sweetness, cream and coffee; probably sounds like your everyday morning drink. But nonetheless, they are good friends and they combine well together.
The last layer would be the tricky layer of course. I'd like to add a layer of blue curacao to give it the whole moonshine idea; a flame burning over the blue curacao. The vision I have of the finished product of this shot is to demonstrate the passion of moonshine that shines, and drifting further into this moonlight you will be able to see the clear layer of sambuca which lingers somewhere amongst the flame-lit sky. And in literal terms, as the moon goes down, you get up, and when you get up, you take your early morning coffee drink. There is much stereotyping in this drink, but essentially this is the whole idea that I want to create.
So the third layer goes with the blue curacao on top of the Baileys, followed by the Sambuca. It doesnt have to be seperated into layers with the Curacao though. Finally flame it, and while its nice and hot, remove the flame (in your own imaginative ways), and down it in one POP! The next thing you know, its the dawn of another new day.
P.S. 3am is probably the best stipulated time for this drink. You won't regret it.
