Alien brain hemorrhage Recipe:
This shot will look great if all layers will be added carefully.
The peach liqueur is almost transparent and fills the whole glass acting like membrane, BBailey’s is the floating layer, but splash of Blue Curacao and Grenadine will move towards the top of the shot glass creating the hemorrhage colorful effect like floating brain.
You need to drink the shot once it’s served as the more time you wait the more chunky bits will appear and it will be quite unpleasant to drink.
- Let Bailey’s and Blue curaçao chill.
- Pour peach schnapps into shot glass.
- Use a spoon and put Bailey’s Irish Cream on top: place the spoon on top of the shot glass and slowly pour the liqueur.
- From several inches above the shot glass add the dash of Blue curaçao
- Add drops of grenadine grenadine.
- Pour some creme de menthe if you want to add green color too.
You can keep adding Blue curacao or grenadine to create more distinctive look.
Some professional bartenders prefer to add grenadine before Blue curaçao!
Why this shot is actually looking like brain tumor?
The “secret” weapon to the Alien brain hemorrhage shot is how Baileys liqueur reacts to Peach schnapps while it is slowly added.
The grenadine is a heavy syrup, and we add it last minute to pull the Baileys down and make it curdle even more. Small splash of grenadine tops are also crucial to create bloody effect.
Peach liqueur substitutes
Some people do not like peaches, so you may want to know what are other substitutes to peach liqueur.
First of all, it should be a “transparent” drink with higher density than other ingredients (blue curacao, grenadine and baileys) in order to create effects.
Potential substitute is Vodka.
