15 Beautiful Layered Cocktail Recipes

Layered cocktails taste good, look amazing and impress anyone who sees you successfully pouring them. Pouring these drinks is easier than you might think: you just need to know a few things.

The classic B52 shot recipe makes a delicious, sweet little cocktail that's beautiful to look at, too. You layer three tasty liqueurs, and the resulting flavor is something like cafe l'orange or a caramel candy with hints of orange.

How about a refreshing summer cocktail that looks as amazing as it tastes? The Rainbow Paradise Cocktail makes a wildly colorful addition to any party or summer day.

If you enjoy a B-52, you've got to try the T-52 Shooter. It's basically the same drink, but with the Irish cream swapped for a strawberry cream liqueur. That goes incredibly well with both the coffee and orange flavors of the other two liqueurs.

The German Cherry Bomb is a layered shooter that tastes like a chocolate covered cherry candy. And it's not as hard to pour as you might think.

Do you want to feel like a superhero, even just for a little while? Try the Superman cocktail, a vibrant and powerful drink full of delicious flavors.

The Love Bite cocktail is a layered shooter, like the B52, only more fruity and less sweet. It blends cherry and orange liqueurs with a bit of cream.

The Quick Fox is a layered cocktail featuring Baileys, Kahlua and Midori. The flavor is bitter, sweet and fruity, with cream, and it works surprisingly well.

There's more than one recipe called the Irish Flag cocktail. This one blends the flavors of mint, whiskey and vanilla for a really delicious treat. And the layering is easier than you think.

The Tiatip is a very simple cocktail with just two ingredients. It's one of the easiest layered cocktails to make, too. And it's absolutely delicious, with a taste like a sweet mocha coffee.

The Urban Violence cocktail takes the strawberry/orange/banana flavor of Tropicana Twister and adds coconut into the mix and enhances the orange flavor.

The Loco Unicorn cocktail recipe features Captain Morgan LocoNut, a rich, delicious, coconut liqueur. It's also got grenadine and blue curacao, so it forms layers when you pour it. The flavor is coconut blended with orange and berry.

The Vodka Sunrise cocktail is just like the Tequila Sunrise, but with vodka in place of the tequila. That makes it a nice alternative for Tequila Sunrise lovers, and a great replacement for those who don't like tequila.

The White Flag is a layered cocktail. Unlike many of them, such as the B52, this one just uses two liqueurs, which makes it much less intimidating to pour.

The Tequila Sunrise is a classic cocktail recipe blending grenadine with tequila and orange juice. It has a beautiful sunrise effect. The flavor is orange and berry, with notes from whatever tequila you use.
