调制步骤

This is a layered shot. First pour the Bailey's into the shot glass. Then take an upside down spoon and touch it to the inside wall of the glass. Carefully add the Kahlua. Repeat this process for the Sambuca. If done properly, the alcohol will stay separated and resemble a bumble bee. Enjoy!!!

History & Origins

Bumble Bee is a modern bar creation with disputed origins, designed to mimic the black-and-yellow coloring of a bumblebee through careful layering of its contrasting liqueurs. It belongs to the creative layered shot tradition that flourished in American bars during the 1980s and 1990s, when the visual spectacle of a well-executed layered shot was a point of professional pride. No single creator has been definitively attributed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Creamy vanilla and chocolate from the Baileys, sweet roasted coffee from the Kahlúa, and the sharp anise of Sambuca. Palate: A sequential experience — the cream and chocolate of Baileys first, then the coffee sweetness of Kahlúa, then a bold anise surge from the Sambuca top layer. Finish: Warming and anise-forward, with lingering coffee and cream.

Pro Tip

Use the back of a spoon held against the inside of the shot glass wall to pour each layer with precision, working from heaviest to lightest.
