This smooth shooter is the naughty cousin to the B-52 shooter. It gets its name from the three ingredients neatly layered on top of each other... Amaretto, Baileys, and Cognac. It starts strong, but finishes creamy and sweet!

ABC Shooter

  • 1/3 Amaretto liqueur

  • 1/3 Baileys Irish cream

  • 1/3 Cognac

Tastes better if the Irish cream has been refrigerated.

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!

Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
