About the Irish Car Bomb
Must be consumed quickly as the Baileys will curdle in the acidic beer. Named controversially after Irish political history.
Missing something?
- No Guinness? Use Stout (Most stouts are richer and sweeter)
- No Baileys Irish Cream? Use RumChata (Rum, cinnamon and vanilla instead of whiskey and cocoa; avoid acidic mixtures)
- No Irish Whiskey? Use Crown Royal (Similarly light and smooth)
- No Irish Whiskey? Use Scotch Whisky (Pick an unpeated blend)
