Alien Brain Hemorrhage Shot Ingredients
You only need a few things to make this fun party shot. It’s the different ingredients layered together that create the distinctive look of a floating brain. You will need:
- 1 oz Peach Schnapps (peach liqueur)
- 1/2 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1 tsp blue curaçao
- 1 tsp grenadine syrup
You will also need a cocktail jigger, an eye dropper, and a small spoon.

How to Make a Monkey Brain Shot for Halloween Parties
Before getting started all of the ingredients should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Chilling the liqueur helps make the layering process easier when pouring this creepy shot.
First, use a cocktail jigger to measure out the liqueur and pour peach schnapps into a shot glass. We are using a 2oz shot glass, you can easily use a 1.5 oz shot glass.

Next, pour the Baileys Irish cream over the back of a spoon on top of the peach schnapps.

The Baileys layer resembles brain tissue as it gently pours into the clear layer of the schnapps. There really isn’t really a way to control exactly how it will look, which is part of the appeal of these Halloween shots.

You will need an eye dropper for this next step. You can get one online here: glass dropper. The eye dropper gives you a little bit of control over the blue curacao liqueur. First, pour the blue curacao into a 1 tsp measuring spoon and use the dropper from the spoon. Add a small amount of blue curacao at a time and drop it in the top of the shot glass.

The dash of blue curacao will start to slowly move in the shot glass but remain separate from the other liqueurs.

The last step in this layered shot is the grenadine. Use the dropper and do the same with the grenadine.

The drops of grenadine will add the horrifying looks of a bloody brain shooter as it makes the brain appear to be bleeding.
