Irish Drop Shot
Not the fanciest of drinks but a fun way to kick off a hangout with friends.
Equipment
- 1 Pint glass or larger
- 1 Shot glass
Ingredients
- 1 can Guinness
- 1 oz Irish cream Any brand is fine, see note below for a variation
Instructions
- Pour the Guinness into a pint glass. Ensure there is a bit of room left. If it's too full, take a sip or two of the Guinness to make some room.
- Pour the Irish cream into a shot glass. If the shot glass is larger than an ounce and you're feeling adventurous, you can fill up the shot glass to the top.
- Drop the shot glass (including the glass) into the pint of Guinness.
- Drink immediately. The acidity of the Guinness curdles the Irish cream, so this drink is meant to be chugged down in one go.
Notes
If, like me, you're not a fan of chugging a whole can's worth of Guinness, you could do half a can of Guinness. When I do this drink with my husband, we usually split a can between us.
Irish Slammer: For a slight variation, fill a shot glass with equal parts Irish whiskey and Irish cream. Drop the glass into a pint of Guinness and drink immediately.
