This is a layered shot - the Bailey's must be on top

Shot Sweet

The Dirty Nipple is a sweet, creamy layered shot combining Kahlúa, Sambuca, and Baileys Irish Cream. Each liqueur is chosen for its density so that the Baileys forms a distinct cream layer on top. The shot delivers a rich combination of coffee, anise, and Irish cream flavors in a single small pour.

History & Origins

The Dirty Nipple is a member of a family of provocatively named layered shots that became popular in American and European bars during the 1980s and 1990s. Its exact origin is disputed, though similar cream-topped shots were common across the bar scene of that era. The name is a play on the visual appearance of the layered cream atop darker liqueurs.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: sweet coffee and vanilla from the Kahlúa, anise from the Sambuca, and creamy Irish whiskey notes from the Baileys. Palate: initially creamy and sweet with chocolate-coffee richness, followed by a brief anise note from the Sambuca. Finish: soft, sweet, and warming with a lingering cream and coffee character.

Pro Tip

Pour the Kahlúa first, add the Sambuca, then slowly float the Baileys over the back of a spoon to achieve a clean, defined cream layer on top.
