Why is it called Buttery Nipple?

And what’s so special about this drink that it deserves such a saucy name? That’s a deliciously good question!

The Buttery Nipple shot gained immense popularity in the ’80s during a time when other drinks with suggestive titles were highly consumed, such as the Sex on the Beach cocktail, Fuzzy Nipple shot, and Redheaded Slut Shot. This popular shot is perfect for bachelorette parties or served shaken together in a martini glass.

Tips & Tricks for perfecting your Buttery Nipple Shot

If you’re on a mission to create the perfect Buttery Nipple Shot, there are a few tips and tricks you should keep in mind.

  • Make sure that all of your ingredients are chilled before making this easy shot so that this creamy shot will go down smoothly.
  • Don’t overfill the shot glass – the last thing you want is for this delicious concoction to overflow!
  • It’s important you don’t hold the spoon too high over the top of the shot or it will mix the shot ingredients.
  • Even using the back of a bar spoon, the ingredients will look like they’re mixing just a bit; this is normal. If you give it just a few minutes, it tends to separate again as long as the ingredients aren’t mixed too much.
  • The fancy way to take a buttery nipple layered shot is without mixing the ingredients, which is why it is helpful to use the back of a spoon when adding in the layers. However, you can serve it with both ingredients mixed together in a cocktail shaker.
  • These shots are great with whipped cream on the top, especially if you’re serving it mixed. I don’t prefer doing this as you have to eat the whipped cream first before downing the shot, but if you’re going for looks, this is a great topping. For the most part, these are served without garnish because they’re gorgeous all on their own.

What’s the difference between a buttery nipple shot and a slippery nipple shot?

The Slippery Nipple is another easy-to-make two-ingredient shooter featuring Irish cream, but it skips the butterscotch schnapps and instead calls for Sambuca, an Italian anise-flavored liqueur. This shot still has a creamy texture, just like the buttery nipple.

Conclusion

All in all, this Buttery Nipple Shot is an amazing combination of sweet, creamy butterscotch liqueur and Bailey’s Irish Cream—perfect for any special occasion.

While it might be a bit tricky to make at home (especially if you don’t have all the ingredients or the proper tools), this divine little combo packs a strong punch with decent alcohol content.
