9. MISTLETOE APERITIF
Ingredients:
Mixing instructions:
In a tall shot glass add Chambord, then gently pour Midori (or other melon liqueur), the second layer, over the back of an inverted spoon so that it flows on top of the Chambord without mixing. Repeat the process using orange liqueur.
This makes a good holiday shooter. You can flambé it by igniting the top with a match. Blow flame out after a few seconds and make certain the rim of the glass has cooled before drinking.

10. AFTER FIVE
Ingredients:
Mixing instructions:
Pour coffee liqueur into shot glass until about 1/2 full. Using a spoon (inverted), slowly pour in the peppermint schnapps until glass is about 3/4 full. Done correctly, the schnapps will flow under the Kahlua, creating a clear layer.
Using the spoon again, but this time right side up, slowly top off the glass with a layer of Irish cream. Be careful to place the spoon right at the top of the coffee liqueur layer and to raise it as the glass fills up. Done correctly, this will provide a layer of Irish cream floating over the coffee liqueur.
