By MixThatDrink

The German Cherry Bomb is a layered shooter, so see our guide on how to layer a cocktail with nothing more than a spoon and some patience. This drink actually doesn’t involve any cherry ingredients – the grenadine passes for that flavor.

The cream cuts down a little on the sweetness. And of course, you’re only talking half an ounce of alcohol – liqueur, specifically, so this is a pretty weak little drink. Which makes shooting these rather fun!

Layering cocktails is not as hard as you think – scroll down to watch my quick video on how to to it. One additional tip to make it easier: use pourers on your bottles to make them pour more smoothly when they’re full.
