Contents 1 Origin 2 Preparation 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Origin The `` Irish '' in the name refers to the drink 's Irish ingredients ; typically Guinness stout, Baileys Irish Cream, and Jameson Irish Whiskey. The term `` car bomb '' combines reference to its `` bomb shot '' style as well as the noted car bombings of Northern Ireland 's Troubles. The name is often deemed offensive, with some bartenders refusing to serve it. The inclusion of the drink in an English bar 's 2014 promotional material drew complaints, followed by withdrawal of the promotion and a public apology by the bar manager. Increasingly, bartenders prefer the title `` Irish Slammer '', `` Irish Bomb Shot '', or simply the `` Irish Bomb '' to avoid offending patrons. Preparation The whiskey is layered over the Irish cream in a shot glass, and the shot glass is then dropped into a glass of stout. The drink should be consumed quickly as the cream will cause it to curdle within a short time. While Kahlúa was part of the original recipe, it is often excluded from the drink today. Some refer to the original recipe as a Belfast Car Bomb. See also Drink portal List of cocktails Sake bomb Jägerbomb References Jump up ^ `` Irish Car Bomb drink recipe ''. Drinknation.com.
