Make an Irish Car Bomb Beer Drink

The Irish Car Bomb is a fun bar drink that is a little more exciting than your average beer. Once the Bailey's gets dropped in, it's a race to chug away before it curdles (but before that, it's delicious). Get a friend or two (or a bunch!) and start racing.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pint (240 ml) Guinness
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) Bailey's Irish cream
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) Jameson's Irish Whiskey

Steps

  1. Pour a half pint of Guinness into a pint glass.
  2. Pour a half ounce of Bailey's Irish Cream into a 1 oz shot glass. Any flavor will suffice. Don't worry about trying to "float" the Baileys; it will settle to the bottom regardless.
    • If you don't have any of the creamy beige lying around, you can make your own (although it's definitely the harder of the two options). Or, as a much easier substitute, off-brands (like O'Grady's or St. Brendan's, just to name two) are much cheaper.
  3. Pour a half ounce of Jameson's Irish Whiskey on top of the Bailey's. You must do this in the same shot glass, as this glass will be dropped into your pint glass to drink.
    • Bushmill's works, too, as does any other similar Irish whiskey.
  4. Pinch the shot glass between your forefinger and thumb. Grasp the rim and hold it above your glass of Guinness. At this time, take a deep breath, work up a thirst, and start getting into the zone.
  5. Place the rim of the shot glass just barely above the Guinness. Slide the shot glass down the inside wall of the pint glass until the top edge is barely above the surface of the beer.
  6. Release the shot and drink until empty. But go fast -- the slower you go, the more it has a chance to curdle. The more it curdles...the more you'll regret your decisions. This drink goes from remarkably delicious to remarkably regrettable in seconds.



Tips

  • It's considered impolite to turn down the glass before it is empty.

Warnings

  • You must drink this fast. This cannot be stressed enough.
  • Be careful to not bang the shot glass on your teeth while drinking. Remember, the shot glass is IN the beer mug, so when you lift the beer mug to pound the drink, the shot glass will slide toward your teeth.
  • Remember to pace yourself when drinking. Drinking several Irish Car Bombs in one sitting will get you intoxicated fairly quickly, but may also upset your stomach.
