B52
Cold War plane
B52 is a layered cocktail made with coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and Grand Marnier, typically served as a shot.
The distinct layers create a visual effect.
Often set on fire before drinking.
Named after the American bomber aircraft, though the connection is unclear—perhaps the drink's supposed potency.
Also spelled B-52.
