Bloody Brain Shot Cocktail

Recipe by American Bartending School on YouTubeAdded 7 November 2026.
  • 5 min
  • Serves 1
  • 3 ingredients

5 minutes to prep. A striking Halloween‑themed shot that layers peach schnapps, creamy Bailey's Irish Cream, and vivid grenadine to create a blood‑red brain effect. The visual trick of the sinking grenadine makes it a fun, eye‑catching drink for parties.

Free. No account needed.

No amounts for 3 of these. The original didn't state them, so this card doesn't guess. Check the original before you shop.

Amounts as American Bartending School gives them. Metric converts supported weights and liquids, and oven temperatures; spoon measures and counts stay as written.

Method

  1. 1

    Add a splash of peach schnapps to a shot glass.

  2. 2

    Layer Bailey's Irish Cream on top of the peach schnapps.

  3. 3

    Using a spoon, slowly drip grenadine into the shot so it sinks and creates a brain‑like pattern.

  4. 4

    Allow the grenadine to settle, forming the "Bloody Brain" appearance, then serve immediately.
