It is easy to guess from the name alone that layered cocktails are drinks where the ingredients are arranged in layers, without mixing with each other. Such cocktails are referred to as digestifs - a means of promoting digestion. Previously, layered cocktails were taken at the end of a party to make it easier for the body to digest everything that went into it during the feast. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to abuse them.
