Method

Pour the coffee liqueur first, then float the cream liqueur and the triple sec in turn over the back of a bar spoon. Layer slowly: the three bands only hold if the pour is gentle.

About this drink

Its whole point is that the three bands stay apart: densest at the bottom, lightest on top. Accounts of its origin differ, and the version most often cited points to a Canadian hotel bar in the 1970s. The name is usually traced to the band The B-52's rather than to the aircraft.
