For company

B-52

Three liqueurs in three distinct layers — a heady nightcap to be sipped slowly, never thrown back.

Swap the Cointreau for Grand Marnier and the drink becomes a KGB. Same layers, deeper orange.

Method

  1. 01

    Pour the Kahlúa into a tall shot glass — it is the heaviest and forms the base.

  2. 02

    Rest a bar spoon just above the surface, curved side up, and pour the Baileys slowly over the back of it so it settles in a pale band.

  3. 03

    Repeat with the Cointreau to make the top golden layer.

  4. 04

    Serve upright and sip slowly — this one is a nightcap, not a shot.
