Rainbows


I'd forgotten about those beautiful, too sweet, deadly drinks The Pousse Cafe. They are made based on the premise of density. Some liqueurs are heavier than others. The heaviest is poured into the glass, then a lighter one is poured over the back of a spoon to layer on top of the heaviest, and so on, finishing with the lightest liqueur on top.

It appears that grenadine must be denser than blue curacao which is heavier than creme de menthe. Like GOW 678, water is heaviest, and gas lies on top.

Cheers!
