This alien brain hemorrhage shot is a fruity, sweet, and tangy cocktail with a creamy finishing touch. Made with peach schnapps, blue curacao, grenadine, and Baileys, this is a shot with delicious flavor and a fun, swirled look.
Although this alien brain hemorrhage shot has a decidedly Halloween-inspired look and flavor, it makes it the perfect party drink for any occasion. With its combination of sweet and tart flavors and the richness of a little Baileys Irish cream, this is a cocktail you'll want to serve at any event.
I was inspired to make this sweet shot after my Mexican candy shot, that people always love. I love to serve it at parties with snacks like our ranch snack mix.

Ingredients
All you need are four simple ingredients that you can find in the liquor section of any grocery store.
- Peach Schnapps: If you prefer use your favorite fruit flavored schnapps, vanilla vodka for less fruity flavor or coconut rum for a tropical twist.
- Bailey's Irish Cream: You can also use RumChata for spice or heavy cream for more creamy flavor.
- Blue Curacao: Instead of orange flavor use Midori for sweet melon flavor, and its green color adds a fun alien-like effect.
- Grenadine: You can also use raspberry liqueur or strawberry syrup for a fruitier version.
See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.
Instructions
You might think the swirled color would be hard to achieve, but this shot is actually made in only four incredibly easy steps.
Step 1: Pour the peach schnapps into a shot glass (a 2.5-ounce size works well). Hover the back of a small spoon over the peach schnapps and not in it. Pour the Baileys in slowly for best results.
Step 2: Pour in the blue curacao, then the grenadine to create the alien brainy effect.
