Which drink recipes use floating or a foamy top?

I know a zombie floats 151 rum ontop at the end but why do u "float" it ontop?
(and i have seen when floating something u do use the spiral motion when
floating)

Harvey Wallbanger (like a screwdriver just with galliano on top)
Why do u "float" galliano on the top?

What other ingredients can i use the "floating" technique for drinks
or what other drinks use the "floating technique" please?

How do i create a Foamy top?
(using eggwhite or add orange juice or beer) but what else can create a foamy
top?

Sex with an Alligator recipe

Add sweet and sour to shakers w/ice, shake and strain.

Layer in razzberry liquor and jager. Razzberry should go to the bottom and
jager should ""float"" on top.
Works best in Martini glass.

Its weird how the Razzberry SINKS to the bottom and the Jager will ''FLOAT""
ontop of the green Midori melon liquer

This SINKING and FLOATING techniques i still don't understand how these guys

Sink raspberry liqueur onto the side of the glass

Patriot Missle II recipe:
In a shaker mix vodka and a splash of sprite shaken in ice. Sink Grenadine,
then sink Blue Curacao. This is a layered shot red, blue, clear from bottom to
top.

See how they use the SINKING technique in the Patriot Missle II they SINK
grendine and Blue Curacao

Gredadine and Blue Curacao must have heavy gravity densitry then Vodka and
sprite together

Swamp Thing recipe:
Use a bar spoon to pour chambord to the side of the glass and allow it to
collect on the bottom. Then use bar spoon to top with jagermeister

To SINK u use the bar spoon to "channel" the liquor/liquer to the side of the
glass so it SINKS

How did they know that Chambord would SINK to the bottom ?

Thanks alot for the help thinkingbartender

1.) thickness/ density of the ingredients they are using everyday. A syrup is thick/ dense, and will therefore sink, liqueurs are less dense, and will therefore sit on top of syrups. then 40% alcohol, then stronger and stronger spirits will sit on top of each other.

2.) more sugar an ingredient has, the heavier it is; the closer an ingredient is to pure alcohol, the lighter it is.

3.) Heaviest ingredients at the bottom of the glass; lightest ingredients on the top.

4.) the density of the ingredients through practice, it is all trial and error.

5.) a liqueur and contains a lot sugar, this makes it heavier than the other liquids in the glass; it therefore sinks to the bottom.

These are good tips to know thanks
