Float (bartending Technique)
A layered (or "stacked") drink, sometimes called a pousse-café, is a kind of cocktail in which the slightly different densities of various liqueurs are used to create an array of colored layers, typically two to seven. The specific gravity of the liquid ingredients increases from top to bottom. Liqueurs with the most dissolved sugar and the least alcohol are densest and are put at the bottom. These include fruit juices and cream liqueurs. Those with the least water and the most alcohol, such as rum with 75% alcohol by volume, are floated on top. These drinks are made primarily for visual enjoyment rather than taste. They are sipped, sometimes through a silver straw, one liqueur at a time. The drink must be made and handled carefully to avoid mixing; however, some layered drinks, such as Mixed drink shooters and drink shots, shooters, are generally drunk quickly. Mr. Nick Castrogiovanni (1893–1979) was well known in New Orleans as "a mixologist." He was best known for the P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Slippery Nipple
The slippery nipple is a layered cocktail shooter most commonly composed of Baileys Irish Cream and sambuca. When prepared properly, the ingredients remain in two distinct visible layers due to the relative densities of the ingredients. History The slippery nipple, along with the fuzzy navel, silk panties, and teeny weeny woo woo, were criticized by ''New York Times'' writer William Grimes when describing the rise of such schnapps-containing cocktails as "a kind of cult, rallying points for young drinkers in search of fun and not too picky about taste". Preparation The drink is made from 1/2 oz. sambuca, 1/2 oz. Irish cream liqueur, and optionally, a drop of grenadine or a cherry.

B-52 (cocktail)
The B-52 (also B52 or Bifi or Bifty) cocktail is a layered shot composed of coffee liqueur ( Kahlúa), Irish cream (Baileys Irish Cream), and Grand Marnier (in later versions replaced with triple sec or Cointreau). When prepared properly, the ingredients separate into three distinctly visible layers (due to their relative densities).

Fich named all of his new drinks after favorite bands, albums, and songs, and he supposedly named the drink after the band of the same name, not directly after the US B-52 Stratofortress bomber or the beehive hairstyle after which the band was named. One of Fich's first customers for a B-52 owned restaurants in various cities in Alberta, and they liked the drink so much that he put it on the menu, leading to the perception that the B-52 originated at the Keg Steakhouse ...
