The Hot Shot is one of the few warm shots and a favourite at every party. Golden Galliano, hot espresso and a cap of cream are carefully layered and enjoyed in one gulp. Sweet, warm and with a hearty vanilla-anise aroma.
Instructions
- Pour the Galliano into a heatproof shot glass.
- Carefully layer the hot espresso on top over a bar spoon.
- Lightly whip the cream so it is still pourable.
- Gently pour the cream on as the top layer.
- Serve warm immediately.
Garnish: None
Pro tip: The trick to a Hot Shot is the layering - gently pour the hot coffee and the cream over the back of a bar spoon so the layers stay clean.
