Notes

Tips for Making this:

Slow and steady wins the race. If you are looking for perfect layers you'll need to pour slowly.
Use a bar spoon or a spoon you have already in your drawer to ensure you are pouring it slowly. Use the back of the spoon to add each layer.
As a variation, there is no reason you couldn't throw all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and enjoy chilled and combined.
I used a measuring cup with a spout to pour this to keep the layers relatively clean.
With time this drink will layer itself as the liquid tries to sort out the different density in the glass.
Once you take a sip, the layers will be broken.
Feel free to play around with the ratio presented here. These layers are 1:1:1 or equal parts. But there is no reason why one layer couldn't be bigger than another.
