It's Art Car time again, kids. Time to watch four wheeled oranges, roaches, dogs and other rolling works of art cruise down Allen Parkway. Dealing with the crowds and traffic on Saturday could easily drive you insane. Take the edge off with a(n) Art Car Bomb.
Car Bomb
+ 3/4 pint Guinness draught
+ 1 shot Bailey's Irish Cream
+ a splash of Jameson's Irish Whiskey
Pour the Guinness and let the bubbles settle. Meanwhile, pour up a shot of Bailey's and float some Jameson's on top.Once your nine friends have theirs, drop in the shot and chug before the shot curdles the Guinness or you'll explode.
The instructions above are for you do-it-yourselfers out there. We prefer to have the bartendress at Keneally's fix us up. Not that we lack prowess or doubt you, but Houstonist's research shows that folks that make car bombs tend to blow up themselves every so often. So proceed with caution.
Have a drink we should spread to the masses? Send it along [jason at houstonist dot com], and we just may post it after some extensive testing.
Don't be a dumbass. Drink responsibly or take a cab.

The chugging before it curdles is serious stuff. Trust me, if it curdles, it will come back up within two minutes, and that impresses no one.
Never again.
We might note that this is an American and not an Irish concoction, and due to the 'Car Bomb' connotation, it's not something you want to order by name from an actual Irishman; a Black & Tan can also be considered offensive for similar reasons.
