Cocktail Country: Irish Car Bomb - St. Paddy's Day Special

The Irish Car Bomb

• 1 part Bailey’s Irish Cream

• 1 part Jameson Irish Whiskey

• Guinness Beer

• Glass:  Shot Glass and pint glass

1) Add the Bailey’s and Jameson to a shot glass. 

2) Drop the shot into a half-pint of Guinness.

3) Drink and Enjoy!

Contrary to what most may believe, the Irish Car Bomb wasactually created in Connecticut during the late 1970’s. With the same formula as the popular Jäger Bomb, making an Irish Car Bomb is easy. Grab a pint and detonate this guilty pleasure.

Russian Diamond Tasting

Now Available: Russian Diamond Vodka

Russian Diamond Tasting Notes:
Brilliant crystal clear. The nose is cleanand pure with subtle notes ofgrain and mineral redolent of wet river stones with hints of dried stone fruits, and pepper. The palate echoes the nose opening with a vibrant attack of citrus zest that merges to a silky and lush core that is then swept away with dry notes of black pepper, and mineral. Ideally balanced with plenty of crisp acidity to wet the appetite and encourage the next sip.
