it does change the drink drastically. layered shots are strictly for looks,
however when you sip from a layered drink as you progress down in the drink it
will change it's character. i.e. a layered cocktail with discrete layers will
taste different as you go through the drink, where as s shaken version of the
same will be entirely different. this can be a good or a bad thing.
and if it's not a shot, you sip it.
