📜 History

The Iron Butterfly shot is a beautiful layered shooter that combines the smoothness of coffee liqueur with the strength of vodka. The Irish cream middle layer creates a striking visual effect and adds creaminess. Named after the rock band, this shot has been a bar staple since the 1970s.
