Ingredients
- 0.33 oz Absinthe Herbal Liqueur
- 0.33 oz White Rum
- 0.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
Instructions
- Add 0.33 oz of absinthe herbal liqueur to a shot glass. Absinthe provides a strong, herbal flavor that forms the base of the shot.
- Pour 0.33 oz of white rum into the shot glass. The rum adds a smooth and potent element to the drink.
- Top with 0.5 oz of yellow Chartreuse. This liqueur adds a complex mix of flavors and a bit of sweetness to balance the intensity.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your ABC Shot. Be prepared for a strong kick and a memorable burn that lingers.

Notes
- Chill Your Ingredients: Chilling the bottles beforehand makes the liquors slightly thicker and easier to layer.
- The Back of the Spoon Method: This is the most crucial step. Hold a bar spoon upside down just above the surface of the liquid and pour the next ingredient over it very slowly. This breaks the flow and allows the lighter liquid to rest on top of the heavier one.
- Master the Layers: Practice makes perfect! Don't worry if your first attempt isn't perfectly layered. The shot will still taste fantastic.
- Is there another version of the ABC Shot? Yes! A different, more creamy version of the ABC shot stands for Amaretto, Baileys, and Cognac. It has a sweet, nutty, and creamy flavor profile, while this version is known for being more herbal and fiery.
- Why is it so strong? Absinthe, White Rum, and Chartreuse are all high-proof spirits, making this shot one of the most potent you can order. It's an intense experience designed for seasoned drinkers.
- What does it taste like? The shot is a powerful combination of herbal, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. You'll get the intense anise from the absinthe, the strong kick of the rum, and the complex botanical notes of the chartreuse.
