Ingredients

  • ¾ pintguinness stout
  • ½ ozirish whiskey
  • ½ ozbaileys irish cream

Instructions

Pour Guinness into a pint glass (about ¾ full). In a shot glass, layer Irish whiskey and Baileys. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and drink immediately before it curdles.

Sips & Tips

Technique

Drink immediately after dropping the shot — the Baileys will curdle in the Guinness if you wait. This is a race against chemistry.

Balance

The Guinness provides bitter, roasty notes; the Baileys adds cream sweetness; the whiskey adds warmth. Together they taste like a boozy chocolate milkshake — briefly.

Drop a shot of Jägermeister into Red Bull instead for the more common energy drink bomb shot.
