2cl Irish cream liqueur (e.g. Bailey’s Irish Cream)
2cl high-strength dark rum, at least 54% Vol.

History:
The B-52 is a cocktail shooter popular especially in the United States, and is often drunk after meals. It takes its name from the American B-52 long-range bomber, which has been in service since 1947 and became famous above all during the Vietnam War. The B-52 cocktail is drunk fast – and drinking more than a couple will invariably leave you with a bad hangover!
