Irish Car Bomb

One of the most popular Guinness cocktails is the infamous Irish Car Bomb. An Irish Car Bomb consists of just three ingredients: Irish whiskey, Irish cream, and, of course, Guinness! It seems simple, but the trick to making a perfect Irish car bomb and getting the best visual result is slowly pouring the cream on the whiskey before dropping the combined shot into the pint of beer.

Black Magic Guinness Cocktail

Black Magic is a well-loved drink, especially on St. Patrick's Day. It's a little more involved than some of the other Guinness cocktails on this list, as it incorporates bourbon for oaky notes and extra booziness, lime juice for a citrusy touch, and blackberries for a tart finish. It's not complicated, but because it takes a bit more time to make, it's popular for special events and holidays.
