This Saturday is debatably the most popular holiday in Boston. As the saying goes, "everyone's Irish on St. Patty's Day," and in this spirit, I give you the Irish Car Bomb.
I promise ordering it or making it with friends will be a good time for all. Not only is it fun to drink, it's also a treat for onlookers, cheering you on. "Chug! Chug! Chug!"
This drink is not for the faint of heart. Those who can't finish a Sake Bomb should back away from the Guinness immediately. If you don't chug your Car Bomb fast enough, the Bailey's will curdle and the drink tastes increasingly worse. You're obligated to finish your drink either way because no one can waste good liquor on St. Patty's.
First, pour the Guinness into your pint glass or beer mug, though I recommend a mug with a stable handle. Next, pour the Bailey's and Jameson into a shot glass (go double if you dare). Make sure the Bailey's is poured first. Drop the shot into your Guinness and chug.
If you happen to be in Ireland or an authentic Irish pub, watch your tongue - they call it a Lunch Box. Substitute Hennessey for Jameson and you've got a Belfast Bomb or stick with Hennessey and skip the Bailey's for the NYC Car Bomb. The Canadians have a Car Bomb too, although they prefer Molson and Seagram's. But on Saturday, let's keep it Irish. Drink up!
