B - 52


B - 52 is a layered cocktail that was invented in Banff, Canada in 1977, and was allegedly named after the long-range bomber used by the Americans during Vietnam War. It consists of coffee liqueur (usually Mexican Kahlúa), Irish cream (usually Baileys), and Grand Marnier orange liqueur.


In some versions, Grand Marnier can be replaced with triple sec, Amaretto, Cointreau, or even absinthe. If prepared correctly, the elements are built in a shot glass, and the layers should be visible, with coffee liqueur on the bottom and orange liqueur on top.


The classic B-52 version is served neat in a shot glass, while the variation known as Flaming B-52 usually comes with a top layer of rum, which helps to ignite the flame.
Sometimes people up the measures that’s ok just have to have bigger shooter glasses,
Also if you have problem lighting the grand marnier on top, its sometimes easier if you
heat up the grand marnier before layering it on top. Some other versions of B-5s is
B-57 Instead of using Grand Marnier you use Sambuca and the order is
Kalhua,Sambuca, Bailys (check order)
B-53 Vodka on top instead of grand marnier
B-54 Comes with Amaretto instead of Grand Marnier and the layering comes in different
(Double Check layering)
B-55 Same as B-52 but instead of Grand Marnier it comes with Absinth on top
