Glass Guide- Shot Glass

Coffee and Irish cream liqueurs are a delicious combination and the addition of an orange liqueur gives this popular shot a slight fruity taste. The B-52 is also a great shot to practice your layering skills with. This also makes a great, thick sipping cocktail when the ingredients are increased, keeping the same ratio, shaken and served in a chilled cocktail glass.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 oz coffee liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Irish cream liqueur
  • 1/2 oz orange liqueur (Grand Marnier)

Preparation:

  1. Pour the coffee liqueur into a shot glass.
  2. Float the Irish cream liqueur on top.
  3. Float the Grand Marnier on top of the second layer.
