Raging Bull Shot
Layer ∙ 2 min ∙ 34% ABV ∙
The Raging Bull Shot is a three-layer shot of coffee liqueur, black sambuca, and reposado tequila, built in careful order rather than mixed. Coffee sweetness sits on the bottom, aniseed licorice cuts through the middle, and a warm tequila bite finishes the sip on top.

Tips
- Chill the glass and all three liqueurs beforehand — cold liquids separate into clean layers instead of blending.

- Pour each layer slowly over the back of a bar spoon or down the tilted glass wall to keep the bands distinct.
FAQ
What is a Raging Bull cocktail?
A Raging Bull is a layered shot made from coffee liqueur (Crème de Café), black sambuca, and reposado tequila, built in that order rather than shaken or stirred. Each ingredient is poured carefully over the one before so the three stay in distinct bands in a shot glass, giving a coffee-to-licorice-to-tequila sip from bottom to top.
How do you make a Raging Bull shot?
Chill the glass and refrigerate the coffee liqueur, black sambuca, and reposado tequila first, then layer them slowly in that exact order so each floats on the one before. Pouring over a bar spoon or down the side of the tilted glass keeps the layers from mixing into a single cloudy shot.
