FAQ
What is in an After Six Shot?
Coffee liqueur (crème de café), white crème de menthe, and Irish cream liqueur in equal parts, layered in that order in a shot glass.
Is the After Six Shot layered or shaken?
Layered. Each liqueur has a different density, so poured slowly and in the right order they stack rather than blend, giving the shot its striped look.
How strong is an After Six Shot?
About 21.7% ABV. That is weaker than a shot of straight spirit, since all three ingredients are liqueurs, but it still has a real kick for one small pour.
