How to Make a B-52

The B-52 is a bomber of a drink as it combines three tasty liqueurs into one sweet shot. When prepared properly, there is a layering effect of the liquids. So, get ready to take off and make a scrumptious B-52.

Things You'll Need

• 1 oz. coffee liqueur
• 1 oz. amaretto
• 1 oz. Irish cream
• Spoon

Instructions

1. Find a clean and empty shot glass at least 3 oz. big.

2. Pour in one ounce of coffee liqueur and let it settle.

3. Get a chilled bar spoon or teaspoon.

4. Slowly pour one ounce of Irish cream over the back of the spoon and into the shot glass.

5. Wash the spoon with cold water.

6. Pour one ounce of amaretto over the back of the spoon and into the shot glass very carefully.

Tips & Warnings

• The ingredients can also be mixed together over ice for a nice after dinner drink.

• Do not pour the liquor in without cascading it over a spoon, otherwise you will not get the unique horizontal layering effect.
