Notes

You can use half and half or whole milk instead of the heavy cream. It won't be quite as creamy, but still good.
Instead of layering this mint shot, you could mix all of the ingredients together and pour into a shot glass.
Use white Creme de Cacao instead of dark Creme de Cacao for a clear bottom layer.
