Easy Layered Hazelnut White Flag Shooter Cocktail

The White Flag is a layered cocktail. Unlike a lot of layered cocktails, such as the B52, this one just uses two liqueurs, which makes it much less intimidating to pour.

The White Flag is a layered cocktail. Unlike a lot of layered cocktails, such as the B52, this one just uses two liqueurs, which makes it much less intimidating to pour. In fact, you can almost accidentally layer a White Flag without even meaning to.

In a lot of cocktail recipes that call for Baileys, I use Carolan’s instead, but when it comes to layered drinks, the two liqueurs do not have the same specific gravity.

Carolan’s is a bit heavier, and won’t always float on top the way you expect. Therefore, I’m leaving this one as is and calling for Baileys. You can use any brand you like, but be prepared for surprises with the layering.

The Flavor

It’s a blend of Frangelico and Bailey’s, so the strongest and first note you notice is hazelnut. Next you notice the whiskey notes, and then the creamy taste from the Bailey’s makes it all work together.

If you’re wondering where to get this shot glass, they apparently aren’t being made anymore. But you can get these very similar but flatter-bottomed ones on Ebay. Or this set on Amazon.
