Irish Car Bomb

IRISH CAR BOMB

Continuing our beer cocktail show, here's another "classic" example how beer can be used in cocktails. Enter the Irish Car Bomb. Without going too much into the history of this drink, I just want to mention that the original version had Kahlúa instead of Baileys; this one is the more common one seen today:

• ½ a pint of Guinness
• 4 cl of Baileys Irish Cream
• 1 cl of Irish whiskey (I used Jameson, but any Irish blend will do fine)

Fill the shot glass with Baileys and layer the whiskey on top of it. Then drop that shot in the glass of Guinness and drink fast. Fast, because the baileys will curdle rather quickly (as seen in the last picture).

A really interesting drink. The nutty flavors from the baileys gave an excellent finish to this cocktail. The Irish Car bomb is a good party starter, a better dessert drink but most of all, a quick way to get wasted.
