A Smooth, Creamy Shot to Power Through the Week
Sometimes, the middle of the week can feel like a grind—so why not take a moment to treat yourself with a fun, layered cocktail? Enter the Midweek Boost, a creamy, indulgent shot that combines the best of coffee, banana, and cream liqueurs. Perfect for sipping during a lunch break or a cheeky midweek pick-me-up, this shot brings some flavor to the workday blues.
It’s an easy-to-make shot that’s as playful as its name, with a smooth, sweet flavor and a little kick that will keep you feeling like the weekend is just around the corner (even if it’s only Wednesday!).
🍸 Ingredients (1 Shot)
1/3 oz Kahlua
1/3 oz Banana Liqueur
1/3 oz Baileys Irish Cream
🧃 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shot Glass
Pour Kahlua into the shot glass as the base layer.
Step 2: Layer the Banana Liqueur
Take a bar spoon (or the back of a regular spoon) and gently pour banana liqueur over the spoon, letting it float on top of the Kahlua.
Step 3: Layer the Baileys
Repeat the process with Baileys Irish Cream, pouring it over the back of the spoon to create a final, creamy layer on top.
🥄 Pro Tip:
For the perfect layered shot, it’s important to pour slowly and carefully, letting each liqueur float on top of the previous one. You can also use a chilled shot glass to help maintain the layers and prevent the liquids from mixing.
