Gravity Chart of some Spirits
The list below consists of liquors, liqueurs and syrups that are commonly used to float on top of one another in order from heaviest to lightest. The specific gravity of each ingredient determines where it is going to "fit" into the layered drink, keeping the heaviest on the bottom and lightest on the top. As a rule of thumb, the greater the difference in gravities between two layers, the easier it is to keep those layers from mixing into one another.
