How to make a Bob Marley
To make a Bob Marley, layer carefully into a shot glass: ½ oz Midori melon liqueur, ½ oz Jägermeister and ½ oz Goldschlager.
You'll need
- Midori melon liqueur½ oz
- Jägermeister½ oz
- Goldschlager½ oz
Instructions
- 1
Pour the ingredients into a shot glass one at a time, heaviest first (usually the sweetest, lowest-proof liquid) and lightest last.
- 2
Pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink, so each layer floats on the one below.
- 3
Serve straight away, before the layers mix.
Why pour slowly? Heavier liquids sink, so pouring gently over a spoon lets each layer float on the one below.
