Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Chill all ingredients and glassware before layering to slow separation and keep layers distinct.
Pour each ingredient slowly over the back of a bar spoon tilted against the glass rim to create clean layers.
Use fresh, quality sweet cream or heavy cream; inferior versions will mix instead of float.
Serve immediately after layering before ingredients naturally blend together.

Substitutions

Crème Yvette → Crème de violette (similar floral profile, adjust sweetness to taste)
Sweet cream → Heavy cream or half-and-half (heavier cream will layer more reliably)

Storage & make-ahead

Serve immediately; do not store layered cocktails as ingredients will blend and layers will disappear.

Equipment

bar spoon · cordial or pousse-café glass · jigger
