The B-52 is an eye-catching shooter, composed of Kahlua Coffee liqueur, Baileys Irish cream, and Grand Marnier. The drink is believed to have been created during the 1970s by a bartender and fan of the band The B-52s.

The B-52 Shooter
For this non-flaming B-52 shooter, I prefer the shot glasses to be chilled, along with the Kahlua and Baileys cream! For the flaming version, top it with a barspoon of Over-Proof Rum. Light with a match, blow out after 30 seconds. Why would you do this? I don't know!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
