Ingredients
For the Shot Glass (The Bomb):
-
½ oz raspberry liqueur (like Chambord or DeKuyper)
-
½ oz blue curaçao
For the Tall Glass (The Chaser):
-
1 oz vodka
-
3 oz orange juice
-
½ oz grenadine
-
Ice (optional, but chilled preferred)
Instructions
-
Layer the Bomb Shot:
Pour raspberry liqueur into a shot glass. Using the back of a spoon, slowly layer blue curaçao over it to create a striking two-tone effect. -
Prepare the Chaser:
In a tall glass, combine vodka and orange juice. Stir gently. Then, drizzle grenadine slowly down the inside of the glass—it will sink and create a beautiful “sunset” gradient.
-
Drop and Drink:
When ready to serve, drop the shot glass into the tall glass and drink immediately. Enjoy the bold fusion of tropical fruit and citrus flavors!
Notes
-
Want it extra refreshing? Chill your ingredients beforehand or add ice to the chaser glass.
-
Try swapping the raspberry liqueur with blackcurrant or strawberry liqueur for a twist.
-
Pineapple juice makes a fun and fruity substitute for orange juice.
-
For parties, pre-mix the chaser in a pitcher and layer several shot glasses in advance—let guests do the dramatic drop themselves!
-
This drink is all about presentation, so serve it in clear glasses to show off the layers.
