Springbok Shooter

The Springbokkie Shot is a green and gold drink that is as proudly South African as the animal it is named after. Layering it, makes a pretty shot that is creamy with a delicious hint of mint.

30ml peppermint liqueur
30 ml amarula cream liqueur
Method
Pour the peppermint liqueur into shot glass. Using a spoon held against the side of the shot glass, pour the amarula onto the spoon, thus floating the amarula ontop of the peppermint liqueur.
