Irish Car Bomb, Lunch Box, & Depth Charger

3/4 pint Guinness
1/2 shot Jameson Irish Whiskey
1/2 shot Bailey's Irish cream

Add the Bailey's and Jameson to 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. If you don't drink it fast enough it will curdle and increasingly taste worse. Tastes like beer at the start, milkshake at the end.


Ask for Lunch Box in old fashioned irish pubs, and a Depth Charge in Ireland, for similar drinks without offending people. (Imagine an Irishman asking for a "9/11" in the US!)

LUNCH BOX

3/4 Bottle Beer
1 shot Amaretto
1 oz Orange Juice

Lunch Box Directions
Fill a glass almost full with beer. Fill the rest with orange juice (careful not to fill it to the top). Then take the shot of amaretto and drop it into the cup with the beer and orange juice.
Serve in a beer mug.

DEPTH CHARGE

1 shot Vodka
1 shot Coconut Rum
1 shot Coffee Liqueur
1 shot Pernod
(fill to top) Cola
1 bottle pineapple juice
1 splash lemonade


Depth Charge Directions
Pour the Vodka, Pernod, Malibu & Tia Maria into a one pint beer glass, add the lemonade and pineapple juice, and top up with coke. Serve in a beer mug.

Grasshopper


One of the great things about the Grasshopper is that you can easily experiment with the ratio of the creme de cacao and menthe to find a combination that fits your taste. And whatever that may be, this Martini is a fantastic dessert cocktail and can be served on the rocks for the equally great Peppermint Patty. The suggestion of white and green liqueurs creates a beautiful, pale cream cocktail. However if you use either the brown (cacao) and white(menthe) a drink with a different look is made.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 oz cream
  • 3/4 oz creme de cacao, white
  • 3/4 oz creme de menthe, green
  • grated chocolate, to garnish

PREPARATION:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with lots of ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Serve after dinner (dessert cocktail)
Note: Can substitute ice shaking by adding a scoop of ice cream instead.

Even better, float this drink! Creme de cacao, Creme de menth, and then cream. This is demonstrated at the end of the Bartender Anime episode 1.


GRASSHOPPER SHOOTER:


Shooter version of the popular Grasshopper cocktail. The resulting shot is a light green color that will fit perfectly with your St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 oz crème de menthe, green
  • 1/2 oz light cream
  • 1/2 oz crème de cacao

PREPARATION:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a shot glass.
