B-52 — Classic Layered Shot

B-52 combines the coffee depth of Kahlua liqueur, the creamy smoothness of Baileys Irish Cream, and the spicy citrus note of orange liqueur Cointreau or Grand Marnier. The drink is known for its striking presentation with clear layers, as well as the possibility of flambéing — the top layer can be set on fire, giving the cocktail an additional visual dimension. The harmonious combination of flavors makes B-52 especially popular among cocktail lovers around the world. It is ideal as an aperitif or digestif, as well as for parties where you want to surprise guests with a stylish and memorable presentation..

Historical Reference

The B-52 Cocktail was invented in the 1970s in a bar in Canada. The name of the drink refers to the American strategic bomber Boeing B-52. Over time, the cocktail became popular worldwide and received many variations.
