The B-52 shot is a very aesthetically pleasing shot with 3 clearly separated layers and a good taste. This shot leverages the relative densities of all the ingredients to ensure that they can stay separated. I make my modified B-52 (from bottom to top) with coffee liqueur, Baileys and heavy cream. The trick to ensuring all of the layers stay separate is to pour them over a barspoon so that inertia doesn’t mix it all up.
