Sips & Tips
Technique
Pour each layer slowly over the back of a bar spoon touching the surface of the previous layer. The density differences keep them separate. Practice makes perfect.
Balance
The layers go from heaviest (Kahlúa) to lightest (Grand Marnier). If the layers mix, your pour was too fast. Chill the ingredients for cleaner layers.
