B52 shot, or sometimes also noted as B-52 shot is a popular cocktail going around at the moment because of its visual appeal and its delicious taste. So, not many cocktails do this double and hence, B52 cocktail is one of a kind.
When we trace back to its history, many suggest it to be after the B-52 bomber plane, but it actually isn’t.
And the cocktail shot was created in the 1970s and the bartender who invented it seemed to have named it after the famous B-52 band.
Similar to the Duck Fart Shot, this classic cocktail is a layered cocktail shot, with Coffee Liqueur, Irish Cream and Orange Liqueur all going into the shot glasses.
Just imagine the taste of the combination of Coffee + Cream + Orange. Isn’t it mouth watering already?
The shot became an instant hit that led to several variations later on in the coming years, as usual with any hit recipe.
