Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 ounce Grenadine
  • 1/2 ounce White Crème de Cacao
  • 1/2 ounce Blue Curacao

Instructions
 

  • Begin by choosing a clean shot glass, ensuring it is dry and free of any residue.
  • Measure 1/2 ounce of Grenadine and pour it gently into the bottom of the shot glass. Allow the Grenadine to settle completely before moving on to the next step.
  • Using a measuring jigger, take 1/2 ounce of White Crème de Cacao. To create the second layer, hold the back of a spoon just above the Grenadine and slowly pour the Crème de Cacao over the spoon. This technique helps maintain the separation between layers.
  • Next, measure 1/2 ounce of Blue Curaçao. Similar to the previous step, carefully pour the Blue Curaçao over the White Crème de Cacao using the back of a spoon. Pour steadily and gently to complete the vibrant red, white, and blue layers of the Superman Shot.

NOTES

  • For well-defined layers, chill your shot glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes before preparing the drink.
  • Cold liquids layer more effectively, so store your Grenadine, White Crème de Cacao, and Blue Curacao in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
  • To prevent mixing, use a classic bartending technique: hold a spoon upside down just above the previous layer and pour slowly to allow the liquid to spread gently and evenly.
  • Be mindful of the density of your liquids. Grenadine is denser than both Crème de Cacao and Blue Curacao, which is why it should go at the bottom. Understanding this helps when experimenting with different ingredients.
