The B-52 cocktail always makes a strong impression not only with its appearance, but also with its effect. They say that it was created in honor of the famous American bomber. Hence the original look of the cocktail - most often it is served burning.

Instruction manual
1
So, the main thing in the B-52 cocktail is the way it is served. Prepare a special glass.
A cocktail is served in a glass for sherry or a small glass for shots. You will need three types of liquors. It is in their correct sequence that a beautiful layered look is made. The first layer is coffee liqueur (Kahlua). Pour carefully. All types of liquor should be present in the same proportion. Before making a cocktail, be sure to cool the liquors a lot.

Take a special cocktail spoon, on it you will pour other layers. If there is no spoon, an ordinary kitchen knife is fine. Dip the knife blade into the glass slightly at an angle so that the tip of the knife is not deeply immersed in coffee liquor. Slowly and carefully pour the next layer on the blade of the knife. Now it will be creamy liquor - Bailey's Irish Cream. This may not be possible immediately, but if everything is done correctly, the layers will not mix. That is why they say about such layered cocktails that they are not “mixed”, but “built”.

The third layer is orange liquor (Grand Marnier). Pour it in the same way - gently along the blade of the knife or the back of the cocktail spoon.

So, the cocktail is built. The most common and original way to submit it is burning. If you intend to serve a burning B-52, the top layer must be replaced with rum. Bring a burning match to the surface of the cocktail. Be careful - the liquor will flash quickly. Now you need to insert a long non-consumable tube into the burning cocktail. If you are new to the complex business of building layered cocktails - it is better to make a drink right on the spot. When you transfer the glass, the layers may mix. Anyone who drinks a burning B-52 needs to be very careful if he has a mustache, beard or long hair.

If you do not want to serve the B-52 cocktail in such a risky way, there are milder ones, without ignition. Build a cocktail of three ingredients - coffee liqueur, Baileys and orange liqueur. Insert a straw. The cocktail is ready.
