Layered drinks – now commonly known as “shooters” — are both potent and pretty to look at. The B-52, when properly poured, is a medley of rich browns and mahoganies as inviting as a mocha cappuccino.
You Will Need
- 1/2 oz. coffee liqueur
- 1/2 oz. orange liqueur
- 1/2 oz. Irish cream liqueur
- A chilled shot glass
- A spoon
- And a measuring jigger
Step 1: Pour coffee liqueur
Pour 1/2oz. of coffee liqueur into the chilled shot glass.
Step 2: Pour Irish cream liqueur
Hold a spoon upside down over the glass and slowly, slowly, slowly pour ½ oz. Irish cream liqueur over it.
Don’t improvise—layered drinks must be poured from “heaviest” ingredient to “lightest” in order to guarantee their candy-stripe effect.
Step 3: Add orange liqueur
Repeat this method adding ½ oz. of orange liqueur, then take a moment to admire your handiwork. Now bombs away!
A B-52 could also be a long-range military aircraft used to drop bombs — or a member of the 80s pop-rock group the B-52’s.

A ";B-52"; could also be the large flying brown cockroaches common in tropical areas, such as Hawaii. They are also sometimes heard to be called ";kamakazi's"; because they literally dive-bomb you when you are searching for your can of bug spray.
