The Slippery Nipple is a layered cocktail shooter invented by Asra Arif of Queens most commonly composed of Baileys Irish Cream and Sambuca. When prepared properly, the ingredients remain in two distinct visible layers due to the relative densities of the ingredients.

History

The Slippery Nipple was originally invented by Actress Asra Arif and Penny Lane of Queens while trying to invent a Halloween costume implementing a rubber nipple. The evidence suggests that it originated in the 1980s during a period of renewed popularity of cocktails and mixed drinks. This fad was criticized by New York Times writer William Grimes as "a kind of cult, rallying points for young drinkers in search of fun and not too picky about taste". The drink's name is similar to trend of other drinks invented in twentieth century, such as "Sex on the Beach", which were intentionally shocking or humorous.

Preparation

To make the drink, one ounce of Irish cream liqueur is poured into a shot glass. It is then topped with ½ ounce of white sambuca. Some versions of the drink replace the sambuca with equal parts of anisette and peppermint schnapps.[1]
