B-52

Origins

The name refers to the band The B-52’s, whose name comes from the US B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber. This bomber was used in the Vietnam War for the release of incendiary bombs, which likely inspired today’s flaming variant of the cocktail; another hypothesis centers on B-52 combat losses (Burns like a B-52 over Hanoi).
