Mix That Drink Kitschy Drink Recipes
The Quick Fox is a layered cocktail – three layers, to be precise. Pouring three layers without messing any of them up is slightly tricky and takes a bit of practice. The specific gravity of a liqueur from one brand to the next can also vary, so you need to try this one out with the exact brands you plan on using to know which order they will float in.
This cocktail uses Irish cream, a melon liqueur like Midori and a coffee liqueur like Kahlua. If you use Bailey’s, Kahlua and Midori, you’ll want the Kahlua on the bottom, followed by the Bailey’s and topped with the Midori. But I prefer the flavor of Carolan’s Irish Cream, and it’s actually lighter than the Midori, so the Midori unexpectedly went to the middle of this one, even though I poured it last. Oh, the fun and magic of layered drinks!

Hey, i got a problem with this layer. I cant seem to layer the midori properly, it always sinks and im pretty good with my layering technique, not to boast but i can layer a bijou cocktail quite easily and i made it into a 5 layer instead of three. so please the trick for this drink.
Hmm, the thing with layering is that the specific gravity can vary just a tad from one brand to the next. I guess try the Midori as the middle layer and see if that works? But it’s hard to imagine Irish cream (in any brand) floating on top of Midori. Sorry, I haven’t encountered the problem, so that’s my best guess.
