bar spoon for layering
Pour ingredients slowly over the back of a bar spoon in order of density: grenadine first (heaviest), then triple sec, sloe gin, and light cream last. This creates distinct visible layers.
Yes. Layer it directly in a glass without shaking to preserve the color separation. If shaken, it becomes a creamy mixed drink instead of a layered one.
Light cream (single cream in the UK) works best. Heavy cream is too thick and won't layer cleanly; milk creates a thinner, less luxurious texture.
Yes. Crème de cassis, cherry liqueur, or regular gin with a splash of grenadine can replace sloe gin, though flavor intensity will shift.
A shot glass or cordial glass (1–2 oz) shows off the layers best and suits the small 6 tsp total volume.
