Ingredients
- Green crème de menthe20 ml

How to Make It
- Chill both bottles well — cold liqueurs layer far more cleanly.
- Pour the green crème de menthe into a small shot glass.
- Float the Amarula on top over the back of a bar spoon, going slowly so the layers stay separate.
- Serve at once and drink in one go, before the colours bleed together.
Garnish
None — the two clean layers are the whole point
The Story
Named for South Africa's national animal and the green-and-gold sporting colours that carry its name, the shooter layers green crème de menthe under Amarula, the marula-fruit cream liqueur made in the country's north.
