This popular shot combines two rich and flavorful liqueurs, butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream, to create a creamy and sweet sensation that tastes like creamy butterscotch candy.
A buttery nipple is a popular cocktail that is made by combining two ingredients: butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream liqueur. It is typically served as a shot, and it has a sweet, creamy flavor with hints of caramel and vanilla.
The drink gets its name from the creamy texture and smooth taste, which some people describe as similar to a warm, buttery sensation in the mouth.
The combination of butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream liqueur creates a rich and indulgent flavor that many people find very satisfying.
Ingredients
Butterscotch Schnapps: This butterscotch liqueur has a distinct flavor that is both sweet and rich, with notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla. Will be the clear bottom layer of our buttery nipple shot.
Irish Cream Liqueur: The creamy top layer of our shot, Irish Cream has a rich and creamy flavor with notes of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla.
How to Make a Buttery Nipple
Measure out your schnapps and pour it into the bottom of a shot glass.
Then measure out your Irish cream. I personally like Baileys.
To get a nice crisp looking shot with distinct layers, you'll want to slowly pour the Irish cream into the shot glass using the back of a spoon to make it a more gentle pour.
Be sure to pour it smoothly, being careful not to hold the spoon too high above the schnapps.
As you can see, when you first pour the Irish cream, it may seem that the two liqueurs are mixing. But if you are gentle enough, after a few minutes they'll level out and be two distinct layers.
Don't worry, if they do mix together, it'll still be delicious. And after the first shot, no one will notice anyway.
Garnish Ideas
Traditionally the buttery nipple looks amazing all on its own and doesn't need any garnishes.
However, if you really want your shots to look extra fancy, you can always add a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs well with the creamy texture of the drink and looks fun.
A drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon can also take your Butter Nipple to new heights of yummy delight.
Top Tips
The Glass Makes a Difference: Choose a rocks or old fashioned glass for your Butter Nipple. It'll not only look great, but it'll keep your drink chilled for longer too.
Proper Techinque: Use the back of a spoon to pour the top layer of your buttery nipple shot.
If you aren't worried about your shots looking fancy, you can always just mix and pour!
