The name refers to the US B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber.
This bomber was used in the Wietnam War for the release of incendiary bombs, which likely inspired today's flaming variant of the cocktail.
1/3 shot Kahlua or Tia Maria
1/3 shot Bailey's
1/3 shot Grand Marnier
The method of preparing a B 52 is called building because instead of blending or shaking we need to build each part on another by using the bar spoon.
First the coffee liqueur is poured into a heatproof shooter or sherry glass.
Next Bailey's is poured very slowly, then Grand Marnier.
