A Slippery Nipple is a popular shooter that pairs sambuca and Irish cream liqueurs. Sambuca is an anise-flavored (like black licorice) liqueur and is a bit of an acquired taste which can catch you off guard in a shooter like this, though the Irish cream does a fair job of taming that taste.
You may also see a Slippery Nipple that replaces the sambuca with equal parts of anisette and peppermint schnapps.
