I was getting torn up on Irish Carbombs Saturday night and plan to have a couple tonight. No getting torn up though, have to work in them morning. Will be getting a cab or DD for the ride home to be on the safe side though.
I didn't name it nor had I tried it prior to
Saturday.
1/2 glass guinness
1/2 shot Jamison
1/2 shot Bailey's
The carbomb is a pretty common cocktail in America. Adding "Irish" to the beginning reflects the ingredients' origin rather than an actual car in Ireland being rigged to explode. There are plenty of other variations referring to other locales as well.
You don't think the 'Irish' version came first, and that the other variations came after it?
Or, if you weren't an alice, it'd be
1/2 glass Guinness
1 shot Jameson
Top off shot with Baileys (optional)
Mixing baileys, guinness and jamesons, you guys shouldnt be allowed to mix drinks ever !
+1 , Bit of a ****ed way to go about things, can you imagin what a fuss people would kick up if there was a cocktail called "The flaming towers" or something. Luckily there probably wont be one, unless they make some good american drinks

I wouldn't be surprised to hear about one.
I'm really surprised that nobody has mentioned the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in 1995 yet. I guess that was more of a truck bomb though. What would that be, PBR and Everclear and Bailey's?

I just think it's odd that people would celebrate the life of the man who brought christianity to Ireland by drinking something called an 'Irish Car Bomb', given the misery they caused to the Irish, republican and loyalist alike...
