To start layering drinks, you'll need a few basic tools: a clear glass, a jigger or measuring cup, and a selection of liquids with different densities. Don't worry if you don't know what that means - just think of it like this: some liquids are heavier than others, and that's what allows us to create those beautiful layers! You can experiment with juices, sodas, liqueurs, and even cream to find your favorite combinations.
Now, let's talk about the density thing. It's actually pretty simple: heavier liquids will sink to the bottom, while lighter ones will float on top. For example, grenadine is super dense, so it's perfect for creating a rich, fruity layer at the bottom of your glass. On the other hand, cream is nice and light, making it ideal for topping off your drink with a fluffy, white layer.
