Houstonist Bartender: Irish Car Bomb

attachments/houston_amol/031408_irish.jpg

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day! To help you celebrate, we bring back a classic drink for everyone to enjoy this weekend. Whether you'll be huddled by a TV watching college basketball or celebrating with the masses in Rice Village, make sure you're throwing down Irish Car Bombs to celebrate Saint Patrick and all of his accomplishments (whatever they may be).

Irish Car Bomb

+ 1/2 pint Guinness stout
+ 1 oz. Jameson Irish Whiskey
+ 1/2 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream

Pour the Bailey's and Jameson into a shot glass, layering the Bailey's on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug immediately.

Have a drink we should spread to the masses? Send it along [bartender 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.
