If there’s one adult beverage to try this St. Patrick’s Day, make it an Irish Slammer.

The distinct almost coffee-like flavor of Guinness is rounded out with the sweetness of the Bailey’s with a kick from Irish Whiskey. Simply fill a sturdy bottomed pint glass 3/4 of the way up and drop a shot glass with a 1/2 ounce of both Irish cream liqueur and Irish whiskey.

But drink fast, otherwise the cream will curdle.

To Make An Irish Slammer Set out:

  • Guinness draught stout
  • Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur (or similar)
  • Irish whiskey – like Proper no. Twelve or Jameson

In a pint glass, fill it 3/4 of the way with cold, Guinness draught stout.

In a shot glass, measure 1/2 ounce (15 mL) Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur.

To the same shot glass, top it of with 1/2 ounce (15 mL) Irish whiskey. We like Proper no. Twelve but if you have Jameson, that’ll work simply fine as well.

Give the foam a chance to subsided and the beer settle.

Grab the shot of Irish cream and whisky and…

drop

it

in!

Now drink, drink, drink as the Irish cream will curdle the longer it sits.

Cheers! And as always, please drink responsibly.
