Try this shooter!

Cool shot try this one:

Grenade

It is a variation of a drop shot. You suspend a citrus vodka shot in beer glass filled with half can of redbull, then support it with a Jager shot.

Jager is the pin to the Grenade. Pull the pin (jager) shoot it, citrus vodka falls in red bull then shoot the rest.

Tried this last night. The vodka should have been chilled. Crucial detail left out by the re-write. Also, my off-brand Irish cream sank to the bottom.
Failure.

I’m trying to make these now, and my brains sank to the bottom too. I didn’t float the Bailey’s like I have for other shots. If anyone has a Youtube video SHOWING how to make the “brain” I would love to see it in action…

Garry, the “floatability” of the brain tissue would most likely depend on the fat content of the cream and/or whether any air is mixed in with it during the preparation. Did you use Bailey’s, or a substitute?

p.s. – your phrase “My brains dropped to the bottom of the shot glass” sounds classic…

I made these last night using Raspberry Vodka. Very good, looked good too, although with some practice I’m sure I’ll get better at building a brain.

The only thing I found to be different is that the brain doesn’t float like it does in the photos here. My brains dropped to the bottom of the shot glass. Still looked and tasted great, but I’d be interested to know why…

Yep, we use the Peach Schnapps/Baileys/Grenadine method and call it a “Brain Hemorrhage”

ha, those look pretty good!

my brother showed me a trick a while back and he calls them “brain tumors”

its a shot of peach shnapps, with the baileys poured over the back of a spoon on the top, then the grenadine same way poured as the baileys, and you get weird brain tumors.

next time we do it, Ill send in a pic

I’ve had something similar. They taste as nice as they look.

I used to get these with peppermint schnapps instead of vodka.
