Slippery Nipple

By Colleen Graham, About.com

Shot Glass

Glass Guide- Shot Glass

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 shot like this. You may also see a Slippery Nipple that replaces the sambuca with equal parts of Anisette and Peppermint Schnapps. I don't recommend substituting absinthe into any shot, it can be too powerful.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 oz sambuca
  • 1 oz Irish cream liqueur

Preparation:

  1. Pour the Irish cream liqueur into a shot glass.
  2. Top with the sambuca.
