POUSSE CAFE

A 'pousse cafe' is a slightly more specific term for a layered drink. Like others of its kind, it is prepared by gently adding each ingredient from densest to least dense in order to create the appearance of colored stripes when the drink is viewed from the side. Some bartender guides list a pousse-cafe containing, from bottom to top, grenadine, yellow chartreuse, and green chartreuse as the original layered drink to receive the name "pousse-cafe".
A more elaborate recipe indicates:

★ 1/2 ounce Grenadine

★ 1/2 ounce Yellow Chartreuse

★ 1/2 ounce Créme de Cassis

★ 1/2 ounce White Creme de Cacao

★ 1/2 ounce Green Chartreuse

★ 1/2 ounce Brandy
