B-52 with full payload – Smaller amounts of Kahlua, Baileys, orange liqueur, hazlenut liqueur and a high alcohol liquor like Bacardi 151, which you would light on fire.

Lighting it on fire also changes the name to a flaming B-52. If you do, be careful of the flame as you bring the cocktail glass to your face.

As with all layered shots, you need to place the heaviest liquor on the bottom and work your way up to the lightest.

But if you do use a pourer, just know that you will have to eyeball your quantities because in that case, they’re coming straight out of the bottle, unmeasured.

Using a pourer controls the pour, which is critical to layering any shot.

So, you are going to use the back of the spoon.

Always place the spoon bowl side up (the back of the spoon) in the glass and against the side.

When layering a shot, you need to pour the liquor/liqueur SLOWLY over the bowl of the spoon.

If you are going to layer a shot, either use a cocktail spoon or regular iced coffee teaspoon – for the thin, tall shot glass, I have to use the iced coffee teaspoon because the cocktail spoon is too wide to fit in the glass.

Baileys Irish cream is my go to cream based liqueur to use, but you can use any Irish cream brand or a lighter tasting cream liqueur – RumChata.

But boy this liqueur makes for a tasty drink.

I’m using a premium orange liqueur called Grand Marnier liqueur, but there are other choices out there like Cointreau or triple sec, so use what you can afford.

Not sure if the stars were aligned while I was pouring the tall shot above or what, because when I layer a shot, I do it the same way every time. Second Attempt at the clear layerĪfter my success, I grabbed my other tall thin shot glass and tried to replicate the results. When I tried it again with the shorter glasses, I wasn’t so lucky, as you can see from the cloudy top layers in the background. I finally did it with the tall glass, as you can see from the photo above. I squealed when I was able to do it correctly! Now, I know other bartenders get the last layer to separate so you can see the line between all three liqueurs but this is one of those shots that gives me a hard time when delineating the layers. The flavors meld together for a delicious, lip-smacking shooter. This tasty shot was so popular when I was going through college and it was one of my sister’s favorite shots.
