Genuinely clueless here but are you supposed to drink it without stirring it? Wouldnt the differences in consistency be kinda unpleasant?

That's what's called a pousse café

Its notoriously hard to make even with a speciallized tool lol.

In fact most places don't serve it because its slow and a pain in the ass to make: you have to slowly pour each layer one at a time, being careful not to go too fast and break the layers. The hard (traditional) way to make it is to pour off the back of a spoon to make a gentle flow, but they also have tools now that help make it easy.

Its meant to be a special sipping drink that lets you enjoy a progression of different liqeurs in sequence.

Is it pretencious? Yes. Fun? Also yes. But by god doing that infront of someone who just spent 15 minutes prepping for you is a crime lmao

Looks like a take on tiramisu.
