So tell me, have you been lookin' and lookin' and can't find a lousy layered drink page anywhere? Then lay all else aside weary World Wide Web traveler, because you have arrived at Layered Cocktail Heaven. Just so you know, the reason different liquors and liqueurs can be layered on top of one another is because they are different densities (weights). Most times all you have to do is look at the % of alcohol on a bottle. The lower the % then the lower it will layer....the higher the % the higher it will layer, got it? (P.S. To find out the proof of a bottle of liquor multiply the % by 2)

My 4th book, The Everything Cocktail Party & Drinks Book, has a chapter titled, "Striped Slurps and Sips". Here are the names of the recipes: American Beauty, Candy Corn, Smiling Tiger, Florida Sunset, Road Rage at the Traffic Light, Astro Pop, Cigar Band, Captain’s Stripes, Coral Snake Bite, Rhinestone Cowboy, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Mexican Flag, Neapolitan Nipple, Easter Egg, Cruella DeVille, Barber Shop Sign, Wicked Witches Socks, Double Stuffed Oreo, Minty Fresh Striped Toothpaste, and An Irish Green Eyed Blonde.

Density/Weight


Alcohols have different weights. Usually, the higher the alcohol content, the lighter it will be, but sometimes if other ingredients are mixed with it then the weight can change. This chart works best if you try not to layer spirits 5-10 weights from each other.
