No. Mix and serve immediately after layering to preserve the distinct layers and flavor balance. Prepare ingredients in advance, but combine only when serving.
Pour each ingredient slowly over the back of a bar spoon into a shot glass in order: crème de menthe, Green Chartreuse, then Irish whiskey. Add bitters last. Density differences create natural layers.
Green Chartreuse has a unique herbal profile; there's no perfect substitute, but green Benedictine or herbal liqueurs can approximate it, though flavor will shift noticeably.
Chill the glass beforehand for best results. The spirit combination is strong enough to work at room temperature, but a cold glass improves the drinking experience.
