This IRA whiskey shot recipe is a quick, sweet way to get the party started or help it wind down. Made with Jameson Irish Whiskey, Bailey’s, and Kahlua it is one of those drinks that’s hard to resist. I’ll even show you how to get the layers just right!
This recipe is meant for people over 21 years old. Please drink responsibly.
🛒 Ingredients
- Kahlua
- Irish whiskey
- Bailey’s Irish Cream
Instructions
Kahlua, Bailey’s, and Jameson Irish whiskey are poured in layers in a shot glass. It creates kind of a creamy, chocolatey, latte with a kick. I always think of these kinds of drinks as being for dessert but there is no reason they can’t start out the party, too.
- Add the Bailey’s to the shot glass.
- Place an upside down spoon in the glass and add the Kahlua, allowing it to run down the back of the spoon. It should sink to the bottom.
- Carefully add the Jameson in the same way. It should float on top.
If you don’t want to use this for shots then make it and dump it into your coffee. It is heavenly!
❤️ Tips
- This is easiest to make if everything is at room temperature.
- Make these where you plan on serving them – don’t carry them in from the kitchen. The more they get jostled around the more the layers blend together.
- Once they’re poured the layers will continue to separate for a few minutes.
- You can’t really make them very far ahead of time.

☕️ Kaffeeklatsch
I like quick and easy and there is nothing quicker or easier than this IRA whiskey shot. The whole deal behind these is that supposedly if you pour the alcohol in the glass in the right order it will fizz and sort of boil up in a cool sort of way. I am here to tell you that I made several and not one fizzed. Not even once.
They were still good.
