The B-55 2 Shot is a bold, layered drink that packs flavour and drama in every sip. This carefully constructed shot brings together the rich depth of coffee liqueur, the smooth creaminess of Irish cream, and the intense kick of absinthe. Each layer brings its own unique taste, creating a shot that’s as visually striking as it is fun to drink. Ideal for impressing your friends or treating yourself to something with a little more bite.

Ingredients

Instructions

Layer Coffee Liqueur:

  • Start by pouring 1/3 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlua) into the bottom of a shot glass.

Layer Irish Cream:

  • Next, carefully pour 1/3 oz Irish cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the coffee liqueur.
  • Top with Absinthe:
  • Finally, slowly layer 1/3 oz herbal liqueur (absinthe) on top, using the same spoon trick to avoid mixing.

Serve:

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the smooth yet powerful mix!

Notes

The B-55 2 Shot is all about precision. For that perfect layered effect, pour each ingredient slowly over the back of a spoon to keep the layers separate. The coffee liqueur provides a sweet base, the Irish cream adds a creamy middle, and the absinthe tops it off with a strong, herbal finish. If you’re feeling extra fancy, try lighting the absinthe on fire before serving, but be cautious—this shot’s already pretty powerful without the flames! It’s a great choice for those who love adventurous drinks with a unique twist.
