Where did the name come from ?
This Nuclear like cocktail was invented in the mid 1900s by Sovit bartenders in response to the famous American cocktail called B-52 which was a very popular one at that time. The appearance of this mix resembles a nuclear mushroom which is why it was named after the great “ Hiroshima “ Catastrophy.
As with most cocktails there are several versions of this one, here’s ours !

120 ml ( 4 oz ) Sambuca
80 ml ( 2.66 oz ) Irish Cream

How to do it
- Using the Nuclear Triple Jigger, pour the Sambuca into the Mushroom Glass

How does the explosion effect appear ?
Since grenadine’s density is much higher than the other three ingredients in this mix, it will easily sink to the bottom and create the explosion like effect.
