The Buttery Nipple Shot (also known as the Slippery Nipple and the Butterball shot) was created in the 1980s when suggestive drink names were extremely popular (for example, Sex On The Beach or the Blow Job Shot).
The Butter Nipple Shot is made of just two ingredients: Butterscotch Schnapps and Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur. This recipe is easy to make, smooth, sweet and creamy.
Classic Shot Recipes: Kamikaze, Lemon Drop Shot, Green Tea Shot, Gummy Bear Shot, Mexican Candy Shot, White Tea Shot, Washington Apple Shot, Jello Shots.
Ingredients
- Butterscotch Schnapps – Sweet butterscotch liqueur.
- Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur – Creamy chocolate and vanilla flavored liqueur.
The best glassware choice for this recipe is a classic shot glass.
Directions
In a shot glass, begin by pouring butterscotch schnapps.
Next, slowly pour a layer of Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur. The key to a layered shot is to pour as slowly as possible, using the back of a bar spoon if needed.
Serve immediately.
Tips for Making
- Chilled Shot Glass – We recommend chilling the liqueurs in the fridge in advance. You can also chill your shot glass by placing in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Raspberry Garnish – If you want to make your shot look more like a nipple, some variations of the recipe add a dollop of whipped cream with a raspberry to the top of the shot.
