Squashed Frog Shot
Ingredients
- 1 part Advocaat Liqueur
- 1 part Melon Liqueur
- 1 part Irish Cream
- 1 dash Grenadine Syrup
Instructions
- Pour 1 part advocaat liqueur into a shot glass. Advocaat provides a rich, creamy base with a bright yellow color.
- Slowly pour 1 part melon liqueur over the back of a spoon to layer it on top of the advocaat. The melon liqueur adds a vibrant green color and a sweet, fruity flavor.
- Slowly pour 1 part Irish cream over the back of a spoon to layer it on top of the melon liqueur. The Irish cream adds a smooth, creamy layer and a rich taste.
- Add a dash of grenadine syrup. The grenadine will sink through the layers, creating a striking red “squashed” effect that mimics a squashed frog.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the fun and spooky visual appeal of the Squashed Frog shot.

Notes
- Master the Layering: To get a clean, professional-looking shot, chilling your ingredients is a must. The back-of-the-spoon method is essential for pouring each layer slowly and carefully, allowing it to rest on top of the layer below.
- Customize the "Gore": The amount of grenadine you add is up to you. A few drops will give a subtle "squashed" effect, while more drops will create a more dramatic, eerie visual.
- The "Fallen Froggie": For a simpler, slightly different version, you can make a "Fallen Froggie" by omitting the advocaat and simply layering Irish cream on top of the melon liqueur before adding the grenadine.
- Is this a very strong shot? The Squashed Frog is a mild, dessert-style shot. It's made with liqueurs that have a lower alcohol content, making it a great party shot for those who want a drink that is more about flavor and fun than potency.
- What does a Squashed Frog Shot taste like? It's a sweet, creamy, and fruity shot. You get the prominent melon and creamy advocaat flavors, with the Irish cream and grenadine adding a final, delicious touch of sweetness.
