Specific Gravity and Layered Shots

Today we’re talking about some gravity, specifically about specific gravity and testing the theory that vodka is lighter than water and water is lighter than grenadine. While you probably don’t want to drink the layered craziness we’re creating, it’s here to demonstrate how specific alcohols related to water and what will layer well on top of another spirit (or water). Where does absinthe sit?

You can see many of our pousse-cafe shooters on Common Man Cocktails that apply this technique in a flavorful way. Checkout GoodCocktails.com for a chart of some of the popular brands and specific gravities.
