The cocktail is really flying away, it's not for nothing that they say that they got their name in honor of the Boeing. Its name appears in the list of the best cocktails in the world. And not a single club party takes place without the most popular alcoholic cocktail B-52.
Like all genius, the recipe is extremely simple, but preparing a cocktail B-52 without a certain skill is quite difficult. Here is a paradox.
B-52 - three-layer cocktail. The components of these layers can vary, but the quantity is always invariable: either three layers, or even stir (as one of the methods of preparation). What are the layers of B-52? Usually, these are three liquors of different density. Different densities are necessary to ensure that the layers do not mix with each other. The most dense liqueur is poured on the bottom of the glass, the less dense is poured the last. In the role of the most dense is usually a coffee liqueur. We leave the middle of the glass for a creamy liqueur, usually "Baileys" . Well, the easiest, for example, orange liqueur will occupy the "top floor".
Well, that, you will say, is so simple - I poured one, two, three and it's ready! And you will be wrong. Even in spite of different density, the layers also strive to mix and spoil the whole view of this wonderful cocktail. No problem, we will teach you how to prepare a cocktail B-52. If, for some reason, you do not want to fool with the creation of ideal layers, we will tell you about other ways of cooking, for which this skill is absolutely unnecessary. So, let's get started.

Orange liqueur must be poured on a special spoon with a screw handle so that it flows along the handle of this spoon, and as the layer grows, the spoon needs to be raised higher so that it remains only slightly immersed in the top layer.
No special spoon? An ordinary one will do. Cool it well before use.
