Now I'm going to show you a couple of different techniques you can use to layer a drink. Now what layering a drink means is, you're going to take one liquor and you're going to have it in the bottom of the glass and the second layer is just going to float right on top without mixing. So the first method, which, you're just going to take it and pour it right along the side of the glass. For the first one it doesn't matter so much but the second one it does. For the second one I'm going to do the same thing, I'm just going to try to pour it right against the back side of the glass. You can see I'm holding my pourer, actually I'm going to change it, and I'm going to hold the pourer like this, so that way when it comes out, it again, hits the side of the glass. As you can see, the shot is pretty well separated. That's one method of layering a glass, of layering a drink. Now I'll show you another method. The next method I'm going to show you is the method I generally like to use because I think it's a little bit easier and you're more likely to get the result you're looking for. Again, we're going to first put our Kahlua in, I'm just going to fill it up half way and we're going to add our next liquor. Now this one I'm going to use the bar spoon, and you're just going to use the back side of the bar spoon and you're going to pour it right off the back of the spoon. This is again, it's just helping it so that way the liquor, you're not pouring it straight in so it doesn't go to the bottom. As you can see the drink is separated. Now, had I done it the other way and put the Bailey's in first before I put the Kahlua in, it wouldn't layer like this. The reason is because the Kahlua is actually heavier than the Bailey's and there's a lot of different, liquors have a lot of different levels of heaviness. So one thing you can do if you want to make a layered drink and look up different ones. You can look online, there are some websites that will actually list off the different weights of liquors. So that's a way for you to know whether or not your drink is going to be properly layered.
