Yule Luvit Shot
Layer ∙ 2 min ∙ 30% ABV ∙
The Yule Luvit Shot is a layered shot of hazelnut liqueur and bourbon, built in two distinct strata and topped with grated nutmeg. Each sip moves from a nutty, syrupy base into a warming oaky punch, with fragrant nutmeg dusting the surface for a spiced final note.

Tips
- Chill the shot glass and both bottles for at least an hour beforehand; cold liquid pours slower and resists mixing, keeping the layers distinct.
- Pour the hazelnut liqueur first, then pour the bourbon slowly over the back of a bar spoon so it floats without piercing the bottom layer.
- Tilt the shot glass slightly and pour along the inside wall in a thin, steady stream to avoid disturbing the hazelnut liqueur base.
FAQ
What is in a Yule Luvit Shot?
It is hazelnut liqueur and bourbon in equal measure, carefully layered in a chilled shot glass and finished with a dusting of grated nutmeg. No shaking or stirring is involved, since the two layers are meant to stay visually separate.
What is the famous Christmas drink?
There is no single official Christmas cocktail, but eggnog and mulled wine are the most widely recognized holiday drinks in Western tradition. Layered, spiced shots like this one, finished with grated nutmeg, echo the same wintry, dessert-like flavors as those classics.
