The Brain Haemorrhage is a Halloween party favourite: peach schnapps with a curdled blob of Irish cream and a streak of grenadine.

Ingredients

  • 20ml peach schnapps
  • 10ml Irish cream liqueur
  • A few drops of grenadine

Method

  1. Base: Pour the peach schnapps into a shot glass.
  2. Float: Slowly drip the Irish cream on top using a bar spoon; it will sink and curdle into a gruesome shape.
  3. Finish: Add a few drops of grenadine for the 'blood'.

Tips for the Perfect Brain Haemorrhage

  • The curdling is meant to happen: the acid in the schnapps reacts with the cream.
  • Serve in clear shot glasses so everyone can see it.
  • Perfect for Halloween parties.

Good to Know

It tastes much better than it looks: sweet, peachy and creamy.

Please drink responsibly. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.
