ingredients

1 shot Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot coffee liqueur
1 shot orange liqueur

directions

Pour the Baileys into a tall shot glass. Pour the coffee liqueur over the back of a spoon into the shot glass on top of the Baileys (this will keep the layers from blending). Pour the orange liqueur in the same fashion over the coffee liqueur.

Serve immediately.

recipe tips


Chill the liqueurs before assembling the cocktail.

Pour the liqueurs slowly and evenly to create clean, defined layers.

Serve with a garnish of orange zest or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added visual appeal.

For a sweeter shot, consider rimming the shot glass with sugar or cocoa powder before pouring the liqueurs.

common recipe questions


How do you pour the liqueurs to create layers?

To create layers, pour each liqueur gently over the back of a spoon into the shot glass. This helps to prevent the layers from blending.

Can I use a different type of coffee liqueur?

You can use any brand or type of coffee liqueur you prefer for this shot.

Can I pre-mix the ingredients for Bailey's B-52?

It is best to layer the liqueurs just before serving to maintain the distinct layers in the shot.

tools needed


Shot Glass: For holding and serving the layered Baileys B-52 shot. Make sure the shot glass is tall to accommodate the layers of liqueurs.

Spoon: Use the back of a spoon to pour the coffee liqueur over it into the shot glass on top of the Baileys. This technique helps to create distinct layers without blending them together.

what goes with it?


Popcorn: Enjoy a handful of buttery popcorn with your Baileys B-52 for a fun and unexpected flavor combination. The salty popcorn will contrast nicely with the sweet and creamy shot.

Chocolate Truffles: Treat yourself to some decadent chocolate truffles alongside your Baileys B-52. The rich chocolate will complement the creamy Irish cream in the shot.

Orange Slices: Sip on your Baileys B-52 while snacking on some fresh orange slices. The citrusy flavor of the oranges will enhance the orange liqueur in the shot.

Citrus Sorbet: Serve a scoop of citrus sorbet alongside the Bailey's B-52 for a refreshing and zesty treat.
