Black Jack Shot
Layer ∙ 2 min ∙ 40% ABV ∙
The Black Jack Shot is a two-ingredient layered shot of black sambuca and Tennessee whiskey, served in a shot glass. A warm whiskey punch lands first from the top, then anise-forward licorice sweetness rolls in underneath — a quick, bold round for a group.

- Pre-chill a glass
- Refrigerate all ingredients
- Carefully layer in the chilled glass in the following order: Black sambuca liqueur 25 mlTennessee whiskey 25 ml
Tips
- Pour the black sambuca first since it's denser, then layer the Tennessee whiskey slowly over the back of a bar spoon to keep the two spirits from mixing.
- Hold the spoon's tip just above the sambuca's surface and pour the whiskey in a thin, steady stream to preserve a crisp, visible layer line.
- Serve both spirits at room temperature; chilling or adding ice dilutes the layers and makes them blend instead of stacking cleanly.
