Irish Car Bomb #1 Recipe
Fill a mug with 2/3 Guinness and a shot glass with the liqueurs. Drop the shot glass into the mug and chug it down. Try not to let the shot glass hit your teeth. This is a great tasting drink. It's just like drinking a milk shake. Enjoy!
The Irish Car Bomb, Irish Slammer or Bomb Drop is a cocktail made by dropping a shot of Irish cream and whiskey into a glass of stout.
The Irish reference comes mostly from the ingredients, viz. Guinness Stout, Bailey's Cream and the likes of Jameson Whiskey,
While, the Car Bomb nomenclature is for reason as explained above.
The Irish Car Bomb has been controversial and pray do not ask for it in a pub in Dublin. This cocktail was created in 1979 by Charles Burke Cronin Oat of Wilsonu2019s Saloon in Connecticut. This cocktail is a derivative of an earlier creation of Oat where he mixed Baileys Irish Cream and Kahlua and named it Grandfather, he then later added Jameson Irish Whiskey to it and named it "IRA"!
He later invented a new drink by dropping that shot of a Grandfather into a pint of Guinness, and the mini explosion that it caused, inspired him to name it a Belfast Car Comb or the Irish Car Bomb, and the reference to the original incident of multiple car bombings of July 21, 1972 is a mere coincidence, he claimed.
So you see? the creator claimed innocence but the controversy remained, and it's not a drink that is in the good books of the people of Ireland or even the American Irish.
Baileys Irish Cream
Bailey's Irish Cream is an Irish cream liqueur, a liqueur is an alcoholic drink made of distilled spirits and flavorings such as sugar, fruits, herbs, and spices. They can be rightfully christened as the descendants of herbal medicine. The Bailey's Irish Cream is a sweet, cream and cocoa flavoured thick liqueur with Irish Whiskey being the base alcohol and is one of the most popular liqueurs used in cocktail creation.
Jamesons Irish Whiskey
Jamesonis one of the most popular blended Irish Whiskey produced and sold worldwide, by the Irish Distilleries subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Jameson is on the six main Dublin Whiskeys at the Jameson Distillery Bow St., Jameson is now distilled at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork -source - Wikipedia
Jameson has an interesting history if we go by the whisky or whiskey first argument, the founder of the distillery John Jameson was originally a lawyer from Alloa, Scotland and previous to establishing the Jameson distillery in Ireland, he married Margaret Haig in 1768, Margaret was the eldest daughter of John Haig, the famous Scottish whisky distiller.
Jameson is produced from a blend of grain whiskey and single pot still whiskey, a single pot still whiskey is a traditional Irish distillation technique of using a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, and Jameson uses the Irish unmalted green barley, all sourced from within a fifty miles of the distillery in Cork.
The barley is dried in a closed kiln fired by natural gas, while anthracite was used previously. This is a distinctive contrast to the use of peat in firing the kiln in Scottish Whisky distillation, which adds a distinctive peat flavour.Kahlua
Kahlua is a Coffee liqueur is a liqueur produced by steeping roasted coffee, sugar and other ingredients in neutral spirit. The most famous coffee liqueur brands are Kahlua and Tia Maria, Kahlua has been made in Mexico since 1936. Kahlua has a thick buttery taste
Typical ingredients of coffee liqueur include liquor, espresso coffee, roasted coffee bean (and powder), sugar, and vanilla syrup.
The characteristic flavor of coffee along with over a couple of hundreds compounds contribute to the taste of coffee liqueur. Caffeine is a major ingredient of coffee, and also might be a taste factor that influences the complex flavour profile that appeal to coffee liqueur drinkers' palate.

NOTE: In the absence of a Coffee Liqueur like Kahlua or Tia Maria, to make cocktails with Coffee Liqueur, Coffee Liqueur Syrup can be used as a substitute with the proportionate alcohol substituted with a triple distilled neutral Vodka.
