Ingredients
 

  • ½ pint of Guinness
  • ¾ oz Irish Cream Liqueur
  • ¾ oz Irish Whiskey

Equipment

  • Pint Glass
  • Shot Glass
  • Measuring Jigger

Instructions

  • Pour Guinness: Fill ½ pint of Guinness.
  • Prepare Shot: In a shot glass, layer ¾ oz Irish Cream Liqueur and ¾ oz Irish Whiskey.
  • Combine: Drop the shot glass into the pint of Guinness.
  • Drink Quickly: Consume immediately for the best taste.

Notes

Substitutes:

  • Guinness: If you don't have Guinness, use any stout beer. I've tried Murphy's Irish Stout, and it works well.
  • Irish Cream Liqueur: Try using a coffee or chocolate liqueur for a different flavor. They add a unique twist to the drink.
  • Irish Whiskey: You can substitute with any whiskey you prefer, but I find that using a smooth bourbon gives it a nice touch.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Guinness Substitute: Use non-alcoholic stout beer available in stores.
  • Irish Cream Substitute: Mix cream with a splash of vanilla extract and cocoa powder for flavor.
  • Irish Whiskey Substitute: Use non-alcoholic whiskey alternatives or mix apple juice with a hint of cinnamon for depth.

Making it Vegan:

  • Irish Cream Substitute: Use a vegan cream liqueur or make your own by blending whiskey and coconut milk with vanilla extract and sweetener.
