Slippery Nipple recipe — The shot that makes everyone giggle before they've even had a sip. Made with sambuca. Originally from United States.
I'm that friend who shows up to parties with the most inappropriate jokes and somehow makes them endearing. Sure, my name makes people blush, but once you get past the shock factor, I'm actually sweet, smooth, and surprisingly sophisticated. I live for breaking the ice at awkward gatherings.
The Slippery Nipple was created in the 1980s during the era of provocatively named shots, alongside the Screaming Orgasm and Sex on the Beach. It's part of a whole family of layered shots that bartenders use to teach the art of floating liqueurs by density.
Born in American bars during the wild 1980s, this shot was created as bartenders competed to invent the most outrageous drink names possible. The layered technique showcases the bartender's skill while the name guarantees it'll be remembered long after last call.
