The Brain Hemorrhage is a visually spectacular Halloween shot: curdled Baileys forms brain-like strands in the peach liqueur, and a dash of grenadine provides the bloody effect. A real eye-catcher at any spooky party.
Instructions
- Fill a shot glass with the peach liqueur.
- Slowly drip the Baileys into the center.
- Let the Baileys curdle into brain-like strands.
- Add a dash of grenadine on top.
- Let the grenadine sink through the glass like blood.
Garnish: None
Pro tip: Let the Baileys drip into the peach liqueur only drop by drop - this way it curdles into the typical brain-like strands.
