The After Five Shot is a perfect balance of creamy, minty, and coffee flavours in a beautifully layered drink. It combines the rich coffee notes of Kahlua with the refreshing burst of peppermint schnapps, finished with a smooth Irish cream. This shot is as fun to make as it is to drink, and the distinct layers create a stunning presentation. It’s the ideal treat for after dinner or whenever you’re in the mood for something indulgent and sweet.

Instructions

Start with the Kahlua:

  • Pour Kahlua into a shot glass until it’s about half full.

Layer the schnapps:

  • Using an inverted spoon, slowly pour in the peppermint schnapps until the glass is about ¾ full. If done right, the schnapps will flow under the Kahlua, creating a clear layer.

Top with Irish cream:

  • Using the spoon again, carefully add the Irish cream to create the final layer.

Serve:

  • Hand it over or enjoy it yourself right away!

Notes

The After Five Shot is all about those beautifully distinct layers and refreshing minty kick. The key to this shot’s success is patience—pouring each layer slowly with a spoon to create the clean layers. The combination of coffee liqueur and peppermint schnapps makes this shot perfect for after-dinner drinks, as the mint leaves your palate refreshed. Irish cream adds that extra touch of indulgence, making it a smooth, dessert-like experience. For best results, chill your ingredients before layering.
If you’re ready for a minty, creamy treat with a kick, the After Five Shot is a must-try. Get mixing and see why it’s a crowd favourite!
