Beam Me Up Scotty: A Shot From The Stars

This Beam Me Up Scotty shooter is an intriguing fusion of coffee, banana, and Irish cream liqueurs, resulting in a velvety-smooth, creamy shot.

There are several variations of this shooter, often made directly in the shot glass.

One common method involves layering the ingredients: coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua) at the bottom, banana liqueur in the middle, and Irish cream (like Baileys) on top.

If you opt for layering rather than blending, it’s essential to chill the ingredients and the glass beforehand to ensure the layers remain distinct.

Embark on an adventure and try the Beam Me Up Scotty shooter for yourself. While it’s best enjoyed one at a time, this unique coffee liqueur shot makes for a fantastic conversation starter at parties and gatherings.

Beam Me Up Scotty Ingredients

• Coffee Liqueur (1/2 ounce / 15 ml): Adds a rich, coffee-flavored base that grounds the shot with its robust depth.
• Crème de Banane Liqueur (1/2 ounce / 15 ml): Infuses the shot with a sweet, banana flavor that adds a tropical flair.
• Irish Cream Liqueur (1/2 ounce / 15 ml): Brings a creamy, smooth finish that ties the other flavors together harmoniously.

Beam Me Up Scotty Recipe

1. Preparation:
   • Begin by gathering your ingredients. The balance of flavors is key in this shot, so having everything measured and ready to go ensures a smooth mixing process.
2. Combining the Liqueurs:
   • In a cocktail shaker, pour in 1/2 ounce  (15 ml) each of coffee liqueur, crème de banane liqueur, and Irish cream liqueur.
   • If you are not going for a layering affect directly into the shooter, the order won’t affect the outcome since you’ll be shaking them together, but starting with the coffee liqueur can create a nice base layer of flavor.
3. Shaking:
   • Fill the shaker with ice, seal it tightly, and give it a tough shake.
   • This not only chills the shot but also ensures the liqueurs are well combined, allowing their flavors to meld seamlessly.
4. Straining and Serving:
   • Strain the chilled mixture into a shot glass. The resulting shot should be smooth and uniform in texture, with a layered complexity of flavors from the coffee, banana, and cream.
