What’s the story behind the Buttery Nipple Shot?
The Buttery Nipple is a standout from the 1980s schnapps craze, when fun and sweet shooters ruled the bar scene.
It’s part of a cheeky family of shots (yes, the Slippery Nipple is its cousin) that combine Irish cream with flavored liqueurs.
The name might raise eyebrows, but the flavor wins people over, especially those who like smooth, creamy, dessert-like drinks.
Its simple layering technique and rich butterscotch taste made it a hit back then, and it still gets plenty of love at parties today.

Want a perfect layer every time?
Use the back of a bar spoon to slowly pour the Irish cream over the butterscotch schnapps.
The trick is steady hands and slow speed. Start practicing on wider shot glasses first. Once you get the hang of it, layering becomes second nature.
And yes, knowing which ingredient is heavier makes all the difference!
