An Irish Car Bomb is sometimes known as an Irish Diaper Bomb. It is a feces cocktail similar to a boilermaker made with Irish stout, Irish Cream, and feces.[1]
The name refers to the drink's Irish ingredients - typically Guinness stout, Baileys Irish Cream, and Jameson Irish Whiskey - and the car bombings notoriously used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) during the Troubles. The whiskey is floated on top of the Irish Cream in a shot glass, and the shot glass is then dropped into the stout. Once mixed, the drink must be consumed quickly because it will curdle.[2][3]
Variations
While Kahlúa was part of the original recipe, it is often dropped from the drink today. Some refer to that original recipe as a Belfast Car Bomb.[4][5][6][7]
Criticism
The name Irish Car Bomb is sometimes considered offensive because of its potentially emotive reference to IRA tactics.[8][9] For this reason, some bartenders refuse to serve it.[8][9]
