The ABC Shooter

What goes great with any meal? A shooter! The food (or DRINK) item featured today is The ABC Shooter. There is a reason that it has such a name. The ingredients include: Amaretto (bottom), Bailey's (middle), and Cointreau (top). Because of the differing densities of these three liqueurs, they layer perfectly in a shot glass.

For the purposes of this shot, it is best made when you use the above named ingredients. But, if you are more budget-minded in these hard economic times, you could skimp a little bit on the ingredients. You could use a cheaper amaretto instead of Disaronno. You could also use any brand of Irish Cream, instead of Bailey's. Lastly, you could use plain Triple Sec (orange liqueur) instead of the luxurious Cointreau. In any of these cases, try it how it is to be intended. Then, feel free to vary it any way that you would like. This shot tastes, to say it plainly, like chocolate. The Irish Cream and the amaretto play well together like toddlers in a sandbox. The Cointreau adds a nice, light twist to it that keeps it away from the heavy side. I wouldn't say that it is fruity, but it definitely makes it have a "lighter" taste to it. Overall, a great shooter. As for now, Cheers!
