A Baby Guinness is a shooter, a style of cocktail, or mixed alcoholic beverage, intended to be consumed in one shot. A Baby Guinness contains no Guinness beer. Its name is derived from the fact that it is made in such a way as to look like a tiny glass of stout.

Preparation

[edit]

A portion of coffee liqueur (e.g., Tia Maria or Kahlúa) is topped by a layer of Irish Cream (e.g., Baileys) which is poured over the back of a spoon so that it sits on the coffee liqueur. The ratio of coffee liqueur to Irish cream varies but is generally around 3-to-1. The resulting drink looks like a miniature pint of Guinness stout, with the coffee liqueur as the beer and the Irish cream as the head. It is normally served in a shot glass.[1]

Some recipes call for the Irish cream to be whipped then spooned on top of the coffee liqueur in order to look more like the head on a pint of Guinness.[2]

Variations

[edit]

In the U.K. a Baby Guinness is often served with black Sambuca instead of coffee liqueur[3][4] creating a drink similar to a Slippery Nipple.

Confirmed

[edit]
  • In the movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin when Steve Carell's character is taken out on the town to celebrate getting a girl's phone number, one of the drinks they have is an Irish Car Bomb.[1]
  • In the movie Ladder 49, several scenes in Looney's Pub include characters drinking Irish Car Bombs and mentioning them by name.[2]
  • In the episode The Sweet Science of the CW's Reaper, the devil, acting as the group lead of an alcoholic's support group, asks a woman what her favorite drink is. She replies that it is an Irish Car Bomb, and he tells her to go out and order one that night.[3][4]

Not True

[edit]
  • The motion picture Grindhouse (Death Proof sequence) has a scene with the consumption of carbombs in a 360° shot (refuted, and I don't see it)
  • In the film The Boondock Saints, the characters play a drinking game where they down an Irish car bomb when a toilet is dropped and when a character drops through the ceiling (appears to be a Guinness and a shot of Hennessey, per here, and when watching the movie).
