They have different densities.

If one liquid ( say water) is mixed with another that is lighter in density ( say oil) the lighter density will float on top. Try it!

Is it possible to stack liquids?

Yes - liquids of different densities will 'stack' on top of each other. For example, the density of oil is less than that of water.If you put oil and water in a clear container, you should be able to observe that the oil will rise above the water.A density column is a transparent cylinder with different liquids of different densities 'stacked' on each other. Search 'density columns' on a search engine to learn more.

Why do some liqueurs flot on top of each other?

For a liquid to float on top of another liquid it must be:a lower densitynot miscible (doesn't mix with) the other fluidThat being said. a frequently observer bar drink is to have layers of different liqururs on top of each other in a glass. In that case the layers are each less dense than the layer below them. The requirement for not being miscible is temporarily suspended by carefully pouring to upper levels so they do not mix with the lower ones/ Left to their own the liquids all eventually mix and the stratification will vanish. Some barmen can even do this with beer where a light beer and a dark beer are put into one glass as two layers.
