Belfast Car Bomb

Also known as the "Irish Car Bomb".

Tastes like a Guinness milk shake. Submarining the shot glass introduces a novel participatory element and a bit of a spectacle.

Some recipes call for Kahlua in addition to Irish Cream and I have never had them that way.

I haven't had one in years... may be too sweet for my taste these days and I do have some fond memories from years past.

Warning: These go down *way* too easy for how potent they are. Exercise appropriate caution or risk "driving the bus".

Coming back from deployment we had a stopover in Dublin at 3am local time(back when we chartered entire aircraft and carried our rifles with us). They specifically opened the bar for us and we ran them out of the cream for Irish Car Bombs.

Good times.

I thought an Irish car bomb was a stout beer and drop a shot of red bull in

Makes sense. There's bound to be regional variations.

My sister introduced me to these 20 years ago and I only heard of the Kahlua thing today when I went searching for recipes.

Admittedly, a younger man's drink and it carries an element of nostalgia for me and seemed to fit the occasion.
