Servings: 1
Try the Irish Car Bomb, an exciting combination of whiskey, Irish cream, and stout. Perfect for a fun night out. Experience flavor and enjoyment!
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ Oz Irish Whiskey
- ½ Oz Irish Cream
- ¾ Pint Guinness
Instructions
- Slowly pour the cream into the whiskey so you get a nice layered effect
- Drop this quickly into the shortened pint of Guinness.
- This really gives the best effect, though some philistines do actually just combine all three in one glass. You lose all the visual effects if you do this, however, so we can't recommend it.

Notes
What happens if I don't drink it quickly?
If you don't drink the Irish Car Bomb shot fast, the cream in the drink starts to curdle because of the beer's acidity. This can make the texture less pleasant. It's best to enjoy it right after mixing to get the smooth, rich taste without the cream turning thick. Can I make a non-alcoholic version?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version of the Irish Car Bomb shot. Instead of using alcoholic beer and whiskey, you can use non-alcoholic stout and a non-alcoholic whiskey-flavored syrup. For the cream part, non-alcoholic Irish cream flavoring is available. This way, you get a similar taste without the alcohol. Why is it called an Irish Car Bomb?
The name "Irish Car Bomb" comes from the drink's Irish ingredients and the method of dropping the shot glass into the pint glass, which resembles a bomb being dropped. However, it's important to note that the name can be sensitive or offensive due to historical contexts involving actual violence in Ireland. Some people prefer to call it an "Irish Slammer" or simply a "stout bomb" to avoid this sensitivity.
