Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

And for the equipment:
- A Shot glass

The coffee liqueur forms the base of the shot lending it its characteristic strong, rich coffee flavor. The Irish cream smoother out the harshness of the coffee, adding a delightful creamy texture. Lastly, the Grand Marnier adds a refreshing, citrusy twist to the mix. If you can’t access Grand Marnier, a good substitute would be other premium quality orange liqueurs like Cointreau.
How To Make B52 Shot
- Start by measuring and pouring the coffee liqueur into the shot glass. This forms the first layer of our B52 shot.
- Now, take your spoon and turn it upside down. Gently pour the Irish cream over the back of the spoon onto the coffee liqueur layer. This method ensures that the liqueurs don’t mix and stay in separate layers.
- Time for the last layer! Repeat the last step to pour the Grand Marnier onto the Irish cream layer. There you have it – your own homemade B52 Shot!
Tips For The Best Results
- Always pour the layers gently to avoid mixing the liqueurs.
- Try to use cold liqueurs for better separation of layers.
Storage Tips
- B52 Shot is best served immediately and does not require storage.
