Steps

Making a Regular Buttery Nipple

  1. Pour 1 oz. of butterscotch schnapps into a shot glass. You'll need a larger shot glass to make this shot. In general, the rule of thumb is to have twice as much schnapps as Irish cream in your drink. For ideal taste, the shot glass should be chilled.
  2. Gently pour 1/2 oz. of Irish cream into the shot glass. You can pour the cream over a spoon to help it drop gently into the glass, floating up to the top.
  3. Drink. You're all done -- now just pick it up and knock it back! Works best when a friend is also enjoying a buttery nipple shot.

Making Variations on the Buttery Nipple

  1. Make the Alien Nipple. This adds a green tint and a tropical flavor to an ordinary buttery nipple. Here's what you'll need to make it:
    • 1/2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
    • 1/4 oz. Irish cream
    • 1/4 oz. melon liqueur
  2. Make the Peach Nipple. All you need to do to make this drink is to substitute peach schnapps for butterscotch schnapps. Just make sure not to mix the ingredients and to let the Irish cream float to the top. Here's what you'll need to make one:
    • 2/3 oz. peach schnapps
    • 1/3 oz. Irish cream
  3. Make the Golden Nipple. The Golden Nipple adds a festive touch to the standard buttery nipple. Make sure to pour the ingredients into the glass in order. Here's what you'll need to make it:
    • 1/2 oz. cinnamon schnapps
    • 1/2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
    • 1/2 oz. Irish cream
  4. Make the Vodka Nipple. If you want to make this tasty shot a bit more alcohol-friendly, you can add a bit of vodka to the mix. Fill a shaker with ice and then pour in the ingredients and shake them up. Strain them up into shot glasses when you're done. This shot won't be layered, but it will be tasty. Here's what you'll need:
    • 1/2 oz. vodka
    • 1/2 oz. Irish cream liqueur
    • 1/2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
    • 1/2 oz. coffee flavored liqueur



Tips

  • For a variation on the shot, top the butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream with a cherry. Pour a dollop of cherry liqueur over the Irish cream layer to top it off.
  • For a slight variation serve the drink in a rocks glass. Start with a glass full of ice. Pour in 1 ounce of rum and top with a layer of 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) of butterscotch schnapps plus a layer of 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) of Irish cream. Provide a stir stick when you serve the drink.
