b-52 shooter
(1 RATING)
The B-52 is a layered shooter (served in a shot glass) that first emerged in the 1970s to raving reviews because of its sweet, creamy flavor. It's usually consumed in a single gulp. If poured correctly, the liquors will separate into different layers that float atop one another. The secret to perfect layer is to be sure to S-L-O-W-L-Y pour each of the alcohols (separately) over the back of a spoon, so they trickle into the shot glass without disrupting the previous layer. Pour the Kahlua first, then the cream liqueur, then the orange liqueur.

How To Make b-52 shooter
-
Step 1Pour the Kahlua into the chilled shot glass.
-
Step 2With the spoon turned upside down (and the spoon tip resting along the inside edge of the shot glass, just above the Kahlua layer), slowly pour the Bailey's so it hits the spoon first and slowly trickles into the shot glass without disrupting the Kahlua layer.
-
Step 3With the same spoon turned upside down and resting along the inside edge of the shot glass, slowly pour the orange liqueur so it slowly trickles into the shot glass without disrupting the Bailey's layer.
-
