Look, I Drink -- Irish Car Bombs
Excremento | 6:33 PM on 10.18.2007 33 comments


Look, I drink...

And I think to myself, there are plenty of others here on D-Toid that do the same. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to share some sophisticated drink recipes with fellow adults? Tonight's is one of my favorites, and was a special request by Trydizon.

Irish Car Bomb



A favorite of Fire Houses and young socialites all across the USA, and from what I hear is gaining in popularity in the EU as well. Next time you head to your local pub for St. Patrick's Day celebrations, get one of these instead of a green beer. I can see the popularity of Guinness on this site, so for this recipe, there is no substitute.

The basic recipe is:

3/4 - 1 Pint Guinness
1 Oz. Jameson Irish Whiskey
1/2 Oz. Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Oz. Jagermeister (optional)

Get yourself a chilled glass that can handle a pint and then some, pour the Guinness into the chilled glass (careful to not make to much head). In a shot glass, combine the Whiskey, Irish Cream, and the Jagermeister. When you are ready to drink, take your shotglass and drop it into the glass of Guinness and then chug!

You don't necessarily have to chug, but the carbonation in the Guiness will make the cream in the irish cream start to curdle and potentially make the drink rather cheesy (literally)

There you have it, an Irish Car Bomb!

*Note* Destructoid assumes no responsibility for the drinks posted by Excremento, neither does Excremento.

Well, I hope you guys all like it, please let me know what you think!

Don't call it that in Ireland. I hear they'll kick your ass for it.
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Bloodylip

Apparently they call them Depth Charges...although if you go to a true Eire Pub (no Union Jacks) I hear that they don't have any problems with the name. They'll just usually laugh at you for being a Yank.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
This sounds like something you'd trick someone into drinking, like a cement mixer. Nothing but a crual joke to play on novice drinkers.
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Shipero

Actually, they're damn good. When you get near the end of drinking, it tastes like a milkshake!
Brandon Undead's Destructoid Blog
@ shipero: Absolutely fucking delicious. The only good reason to chug a whole Guiness there is.
Zarathustra's Destructoid Blog
One of the best hardcore drinks ever. Seriously.

@stunna: You're right, it does depend on where you are in Ireland. I was there a couple years ago, and I asked about it at a couple places in Temple Bar. Dublin is an awesome city, btw.

@bloodylip

I went to Ireland as my graduation trip. They were super popular in Southern Ireland, like Dublin and Kilarney. If you order it up in Belfast though, you'll get your ass beat.
trydizon's Destructoid Blog
haha, nice!

an irish car bomb is everything you listed, sans the jager.

i named the DESTRUCTOID DANGEROUS BOMB as mod of the traditional car bomb with the dear blood (aka jager).
trydizon's Destructoid Blog
*deer blood

CHEERS STUNNA!

The other alternative.
pancakes mcgee's Destructoid Blog
it tastes like chocolate milk. and after it's chugged, sit back and enjoy a nice black and tan.
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Pancakes McGee

Mmmmm...black and tan...did you see that Ben & Jerry's makes that flavor of ice cream now?
SlavedHeart's Destructoid Blog
These may be good and all (and I've had a few, they are), but Sake Bombers, for some reason, encourage nudity...
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ SlavedHeart

It seems that any of the Beer and Liquor drinks become panty droppers...
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
You put Jager in your car bombs? Yuck.
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Dexter

Hence the "optional" tag...
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
Jagermeister is one of my FAVORITE liquors, personally you could put it in anything and it immediately tastes better.

James Hetfield from Metallica claims that Jagermeister and warm milk does wonders for a sore throat.
Zarathustra's Destructoid Blog
@stunna

I had that Ben & Jerry's Black and Tan flavor a while ago. It was... ok.
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Zarathustra

I wondered whether or not a beer ice cream would be that good...guess I have my answer.
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
These things are so damn good. I love them to the ends of the earth. Did six in one night at a friend birthday party, vomitted than did two more. Needless to say I don't remeber the latter two.
TwinkieFGR's Destructoid Blog
<3 Irish Car Bombs, sadly there's only like one bar in my entire city that actually makes it with Jameson, none of the other ones carry the stuff. Same goes for Sake, I actually ahve to go to restaurants if I want a sake bomb (or make it myself, obviously, which is what I usually do).
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
@ Twinkie

Here in Utah you can't get a mix drink that has more than 1 ounce of liquor or more than one drink at a time. This means that you can't ever get a boilermaker, irish car bomb, or any exciting drink...super lame, so you end up being good at making your own drinks.
SlavedHeart's Destructoid Blog
@ Excremento Stunna, not like Sake Bombers... I'll agree in spirit with you, but... man, after using alcohol for years to ply women, it's only after being married that I learned the TRUE power of sake... Even her assistant was hitting on me at the sushi bar...
Excremento's Destructoid Blog
Mmmmmm, Sake ga daisuki!
Upgrayedd's Destructoid Blog
I don't like Jager in them, but yeah, these things are the destroyers of worlds.
007's Destructoid Blog
I'm hardcore. i take every alcoholic beverage out there in the market and mix them together to make my special "You're gunna be fucked for weeks" drink.

yeah, i'm underage....
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
Ron is scared of irish car bombs, he refuses to drink them. Ask Austin Powers, he'll tell you.**

**If you weren't at the first "unoffical" MidWest NARP you will not know who Austin Powers is, and you should. I don't even know what the fuck his real name is.
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
I like mine with a shot of liquid crack.
007's Destructoid Blog
LOL @ eschatos
Farktoid's Destructoid Blog
Here's one you can try. I call it the Bioshock.
1 Pint Big Daddy Ale
1 shot Cinnamon Aftershock

Here's the spin. You can choose to down the Little Sister or not. But at the end of the night, you have to pound every shot of Aftershock you missed to get the Adam.
DigitalD562's Destructoid Blog
Irish car bombs are great for getting fucked up in a hurry (last call). But I usually just drink my whiskey strait. Jameson 18 year and Midelton VR, both Irish are the only whiskeys I drink.
lucashoal's Destructoid Blog
Hmmm, we need a drink to cover the resident furfags (Neonie, Monkeycat, Kelfonne, myself, and whoever else I missed.)

Something fruity?

 about me



Greeting true believers!

My real name is Xopher Reed. I've been a videogame acolyte for as long as I can remember. I have well over 25 years of video game experience starting with the Commodore 64 and Intellivision. I can look back at my life year by year and remember fondly what game I was playing at that point in my existence.

Not being content with my sitting on my ass and not proclaiming to the world my views on the gaming industry was the reason I started a blog here on Dtoid. After seeing that my personal blog was going nowhere, I decided that the community here on Destructoid was the only way to go. I'm still here, updating as often as I can for all of your enjoyment.

Any of you out there who wish to contact me directly can do so at:
