Irish Shots with Guinness, Baileys & Irish Whiskey

03/17/2014 by Judy 1 Comment

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I thought today would be appropriate to post an Irish cocktail in it’s honor. Unfortunately, all of my attempts at creating an exciting, different cocktail fell a little flat. So I’m resorting to the famous Irish Shots with Guinness, Baileys & Irish Whiskey.

These shots, commonly known as Irish Car Bombs, has Guiness Stout, Bailey's Irish Cream and Irish WhiskeyI’m not much of a beer drinker anymore, but I can chug a beer with the best of them.  So a year or two ago I was in an Irish pub celebrating my friend Lyssa’s birthday and someone suggested we should do shots of Baileys and whiskey dropped in a Guinness beer.  I’m sure it was Lyssa’s suggestion, she’s always so much fun. I had never had one before and wasn’t really looking forward to it.  Mainly because I don’t really like dark beer. But it was her birthday after all, and I’m a good sport, so I took part in the shenanigans.  Oh, and I might just be a tad bit competitive sometimes.

You know what?  I liked it!  I think we even had two 🙂

Irish Shots with Guinness, Baileys & Irish Whiskey (also commonly known as Irish Car Bombs)So if you want to have a little fun, friendly competition this St. Patrick’s Day, gather your friends and do a round of Irish Shots with Guinness, Baileys & Irish Whiskey.  One word of advice, don’t drop the shot glass from too high up or you’ll have a bit of a mess (but it does make a really cool photo!).

Update: This famous bar shot is well known by the name of Irish Car Bombs here in America.  After originally posting this recipe with that name, I learned the name is offensive to many people so I’ve renamed the post to be more sensitive.  It’s not my intent to offend anyone, I was just calling the drink what it is more commonly known as around here.

    (If ye prefer, read the following missive with a Dublin accent… it’ll go down smoother.)

    So, yeah… heard it called the Irish Car Bomb, and the IRA, even heard it called the Catholic’s Nunnery. I’ve never heard it called the potato famine, nor Corned Beef & Cabbage, which I think might be actually offensive instead of pretend offensive.

    On the west coast it’s called a Belfast Bomber, or a Dublin Drop, vying on which pub ye find yourself in at the time. So, sure then, feel free to call it the Dublin Drop, and if American’s are too busy being offended, then finish their drink for them, I say, and show them the door.
