BLOODY BRAIN SHOOTER

Time 10m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 ounces strawberry vodka
1/8 ounce Rose's lime juice
3/4 ounce Bailey's Irish Cream
Splash of grenadine

Steps:

  • Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey's Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey's put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey's in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey's will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey's. Repeat the straw/Bailey's process to build a "brain" in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the 'blood' to the mix. Down the hatch as a shot.
