After Eight

The After Eight shot is a layered cocktail that combines three distinct liqueurs to mimic the flavor of the classic After Eight mint chocolate. The shot features 1/3 oz each of coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and white crème de menthe, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The coffee liqueur provides a rich, roasted base; the Irish cream adds a smooth, creamy texture with hints of whiskey; and the white crème de menthe contributes a refreshing minty finish. When carefully layered, these ingredients create a visually appealing drink with distinct layers that mirror the taste of mint chocolate.

The After Eight shot is inspired by the After Eight mint, a popular confection originating from the United Kingdom in the 1960s. This thin mint chocolate became a staple of elegant dinner parties and festive gatherings. The shot aimed to capture the essence of this iconic treat in drink form, making it a favorite choice for those who enjoy dessert-like cocktails. Its unique combination of flavors and elegant presentation make it a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations.

This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Shot Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
