Make a Flatliner Layered Shot

A Flatliner is a spicy layered shot that is made with Tabasco sauce. The Tabasco sauce is layered between the Sambuca and tequila or allowed to dip through the liquors. The Tabasco sauce can be added after pouring the first layer of the drink (the Sambuca) before adding the tequila, or added after the tequila has been layered on the Sambuca. Different visual effects will be created depending on when the Tabasco sauce is added. If the Tabasco sauce is added over the sambuca, a flat red line may be formed. If the Tabasco sauce is dripped into the drink over the tequila, the overall visual effect should give the impression of dispersed blood drops or a jellyfish.

Ingredients

  • Sambuca
  • Tequila
  • Tabasco sauce

Steps

  1. Set a shot glass on a table.
  2. Estimate the capacity (volume) the shot glass. Divide this in half, as the Sambuca and tequila will take up most of the glass (each will take up about half of the shot glass). This can be done by eye or with measuring cups.
  3. Pour the Sambuca directly into the glass so that it fills up about one half of the glass.
    • At this point you can add the Tabasco sauce, or add the Sambuca and add the Tabasco sauce after the tequila has been layered over the Sambuca. To add the Tabasco sauce this point, add some Tabasco sauce to a spoon (enough to almost fill a teaspoon) and carefully pour the sauce over the Sambuca. To layer the Tabasco sauce over the Sambuca, spoon the Tabasco sauce on the sambuca while keeping the spoon very near the surface, or slowly pour or drip the Tabasco down the side of the glass.
  4. Using the technique described in the article Make Layered Shots, layer the tequila over the Sambuca.
  5. Add a few or more drops of Tabasco sauce to the shot if it was not added earlier.
  6. Serve the drink.



Tips

  • The Tabasco sauce will give a neat, bloody effect to the drink. This effect will be different depending on when the Tabasco sauce is added.
  • If you can't layer the Tabasco sauce between the Sambuca and tequila, the visual effect will still look neat and the shot is still perfectly fine.

Warnings

  • Make sure that people who drink a Flatliner know that there is spicy Tabasco sauce in it.
  • Drink alcoholic beverages responsibly.
