History of B-52 cocktail 


The cocktail was originally inspired by the Long ranged bomber because of its charismatic flame and color. However, there are stories in early days that it was named after the B-52 band. Even though the band is also formed in 1970s with the fame of the Original B-52 air craft.

One B-52 story refers to bartender at the Banff Springs named Peter Fich as the creator of the cocktail.Fich was an ambitious bar tender and founder of many cocktails during his days.He used to named his cocktails with a band name so the story suggest that he named the B-52 cocktail with the band of the same name,



I got the chance to try out B-52 while I was in Kandy, Sri Lanka above picture refers to the cocktail made by the kandian Bar tender who works at Amaya Hills Kandy.


Ingredients 


Coffee liqueur


Coffee liqueur is a combination of coffee and alcohol and sugar is added to neutralize the bitter taste of the alcohol.


 Irish cream


Irish cream is a liqueur similar to coffee liqueur but mixed with cream instead of coffee.Irish cream normally use a Irish whiskey as the base and Milk or fresh cream as the cream and also sugar is added to balance out the strong alcohol favor.


Orange-flavored liqueur


There are a number of different orange liqueurs on the market. Most famous types are  triple sec and curaçao. Triple sec is a clear liqueur made from neutral grain alcohol (essentially vodka) that has been sweetened with sugar and flavored with orange peels.

 My Favourite Recipe 

My favorite is Kahlúa coffee liqueur and Baileys Irish cream top up with Triple sec. and in addition I like to lit up the Triple sec just to add more diversity while presenting it.Should carefully mix the alcohols because if they mixed together then the layers would not be visible.For this reason I normally add the coffee first and then by using a back of a spoon and gently pour the heavy Irish cream liqueur on top of that and repeat it with orange liqueur.
