(Non-flaming) B-52

[retrox]

If you've never had a B-52, here's what it looks like:

It's a layered cocktail commonly served as a shooter composed of Kahlua, Bailey's, and triple sec or Grand Marnier (some folks prefer Amaretto on top, but I'm not one of those weirdos). A generous bartender will even set it ablaze for you upon request, which results in a "B-52 On a Mission." Clever as that sounds, I do not recommend it with this version:

FA Irish Cream: 3%
FA Jamaican Rum: 1%
FA Orange: .5%
FA Espresso: .5%
FA Cocoa: .25%

I shake and vape this at the percentages above. You can crank the total flavoring up to around 7-8%, but once you crest 6%, you may want to let the mix sit for a day or two to allow the Orange to settle in.

And quite unlike the real thing, you can vape this for as long as you want without ever ending up on the floor with your face in a puddle of your own saliva.

I could be wrong, but for that to occur, I think 2.5% FA Brandy would have to be included in your recipe.

Thank you for posting this and I'm definitely putting it onto my mixing "to do" list!

This looks good, the only thing missing is the musical interlude ...
