How to Make B55

  1. Chill your shot glass in the freezer for 5 minutes for optimal layering.
  2. Use a barspoon or the back of a spoon to carefully layer the liquids, preventing mixing. Start with 1 ounce (30ml) of Kahlúa.
  3. Gently add 1 ounce (30ml) of Baileys Irish Cream on top of the Kahlúa, pouring slowly down the back of a spoon to avoid disturbing the layer below.
  4. Finally, layer 1 ounce (30ml) of Absinthe on top of the Baileys, using the same slow pouring technique.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious layered flavors!
