> When are you gonna layer water?
Just an illustration that alcohol alone does not define specific gravity in
practice. Water is just the baseline reference - Gravity 1.0. And with zero
alcohol it sits above most of the liqueurs. Hence the 'proof' theory is
disproved. ;-)
That said, my trick for making things layer against nature is to add vodka,
which certainly raises the alc, but more importantly dilutes the sugar.
(Natrone can probably expand on this)
I've layered Juice (as a layer in a shot) before now. IIRC Pineapple was
pretty heavy, Cranberry was pretty light.
Another very effective way of getting layers to work is to chill the stuff you
want on the bottom.
