Start by gathering all your ingredients and a chilled shot glass to ensure the best presentation.
Pour 0.75 ounces of Kahlúa (coffee liqueur) into the shot glass as the base layer. Tip: Pour slowly to avoid splashing.
Using the back of a bar spoon, carefully layer 0.75 ounces of Baileys Irish Cream over the Kahlúa. Hold the spoon close to the surface of the Kahlúa and pour gently to create the second layer.
Repeat the layering process with 0.75 ounces of Grand Marnier (orange liqueur), adding it on top of the Baileys Irish Cream to form the final layer.
Serve immediately and enjoy the beautiful layers and rich flavor of this classic cocktail!
