Can you think of a better fall combination than coffee liqueur, Irish cream and orange liqueur? Well, okay maybe one... But we will get to that in a minute.
What is a B52 Shot?
The B52 is a classic layered cocktail that has been around since the late 1970's.Nobody really knows if it was named for the bomber or the band.
But either way, their are a lot of variations of the B 52 cocktail made with different alcohol combinations.
Layered Drink Variations
We are a house divided. I love the B-51, which switches out the Grand Marnier for Frangelico. I mean really, orange or hazelnut? I am going with the hazelnut every time. Which one would you choose?- To make a B 51, build a B52 shot with Frangelico hazelnut liqueur rather than Grand Marnier
- For a B 52 with Bombay Doors, build a B 52 cocktail using Bombay gin
- To make a B 52 in the Desert, build a B-52 with tequila rather than Bailey's Irish cream
- For a B 52 with a Full Payload, build a B52 shot, but add a 4th layer of Frangelico and a 5th layer of Bacardi 151 rum lit on fire.
- To make a B 53, build a B-52 using Sambuca rather than Irish cream
- To make a B 54, build a B-52 with Amaretto almond liqueur in place of Grand Marnier
- For B 55 cocktail shooters, use absinthe rather than Grand Marnier
- To make a B 57, use peppermint schnapps rather than Irish cream
