There is something that has been bothering me for a while now, and it's time someone gave you a physics lesson. Layering has to do with the density of the liquid, not gravity. Gravity pulls down equally on all matter. The thicker and more dense a liquid is, the more it goes to the bottom. Irish Cream is more syrupy and denser than whiskey, and therefore it sinks. Generally, the thicker a liquid is, the more viscous it is, it will usually go to the bottom.

@sunscreen318 The charts I look at when layering a cocktail are specific gravity charts, which measure the relative density of the liquid. "The specific gravity or relative density is used to make layered drinks." So, if I used specific gravity wrong, sorry, thought I had it right.

hey I'm a huge fan and I've watched a ton of episodes and i don't think you have used After Shock Liqueur you should try it!! its amazing. oh and keep the amazing videos coming!

If a few underage teenagers watch this and actually make these drinks then good for them. I have been drinking form the age of 15 ( not including the occasional glass in events) and i have absolutely no problem with it. Only time i had problem with alcohol was once that i had eaten nothing all day but thats it. Restricting alcohol i think is stupid.

@sunscreen318 I'm sorry 2 say this 2 you, and really I'm not trying 2 sound offensive or get into a pointless discussion,but plz try 2 read at least a little b4 correcting sum1 bcuz u sound kind of bossy tryin' 2 give physichs lessons without knowing that specific gravity is actually a density measuring unit, so it is correct to use this charts as reference to make layered drinks, and yeah generally but NOT necesarilly a more viscous liquid is more dense, oil and water are a good example of this

I did it! Kaluha, (can't spell it) Baileys, and Whipped vodka. It worked! My husband was impressed.

I have layered many cocktails. I have also linked people to your videos to help them understand how layering works. (I think you helped!)

ive layed afew...some havent really come out too good...green creme de menthe and peppermint schnapps lol that worked pretty good

[sunscreen318]

@everydaydrinkers That explains it:)
