Items you’ll need for this recipe
There are a few items you’ll need to make this drink.
- Bailey’s Irish cream – this classic cream liqueur brings a smoothness to the taste and freakiness to the look.
- Peach schnapps – peach schnapps brings a nice fruity snap. Absolut, Doc Well’s or Peachtree are great peach schnapps brands that’ll taste delicious with the alien brain hemorrhage shot.
- Blue curacao – blue curacao brings great flavor and the all important-blue coloring effect to the alien brain hemorrhage shot.
- Grenadine syrup – grenadine is a pomegranate and cherry syrup that brings the sweetness at the bottom of the shot glass.
- Shot glass – get a quality shot glass collection for your alien brain hemorrhage shot.
How to make a brain hemorrhage shot
Putting this terrifyingly tasty shot together is pretty easy. Although layered shots can sometimes be tricky, this shot is quick and simple.
The peach schnapps goes in first. This clear layer is the ‘membrane’ that acts as the backdrop to the rest of the shot drink.
Then comes the Bailey’s. Chilled Bailey’s is best. Also, give it a shake so that the Bailey’s floats to the top of the shot glass. This’ll give the alien shot its ghostly appearance.
Slowly pour the blue curacao then add a couple of drops of grenadine and you’re good to go!

If you want to turn an alien brain hemorrhage shot into an alien brain hemorrhage cocktail, just double or triple the ingredients.
Remember to pour each ingredient in slowly. That’s the key to getting the grisly appearance of the alien brain hemorrhage shot on point.
What does an alien brain hemorrhage shot taste like?
Despite its horrific appearance, this brain hemorrhage shooter tastes smooth and creamy, with a little fruity flourish. There is some congealed matter in there though!
Does the bailey’s need to be chilled?
It’s best if both the Bailey’s and Blue Curacao are chilled. This will make both float to the top of the shot glass, making them look suspended in the appearance for that all-important alien brain shot appearance.
