IRISH CAR BOMBS

IRISH CAR BOMBS

Even though we're well past the zone of Irish Car Bomb drink orders, I still want to talk some fucking sense in to you fuckers to stop ordering the drink like hat. You know, I'll cut you a lot of slack and just say you can just say to the bartender that you want an Irish Slammer. Then again, by all means, do not dare order anything of the such outside of American because you will be a huge asshole.... more so than you already are.

The creation of the Irish Car Bomb was invented in Connecticut bar by a bartender named Charles Oat. It happened on St Patrick's Day 1976, with a shot that was made up of Jameson Irish Whiskey, Kahlua and Bailey's Irish Cream. I mean, let's just say I don't know what the Kahlua is doing in there, but by all means let's just ignore that for a moment. But the shot getting dropped in a shot's name IRA, which by all means was talking about the Irish Republican Army. 

Thus they took that IRA shot and dumped it into the typical Guinness and well, there you go. They claim that they were never making light of the Troubles in Northern Ireland... you know, the decades-long conflict that resulted in more than 3,500 deaths. Of course Oat never considered all those lives... but you name a drink after a major tool used through the Troubles and, well... let's just say I don't buy that it wasn't some bar room humor that really has no place in the current political climate.

Even if the owner has gone on record saying;
 “IRA and Carbomb are ‘cool’ in the bar scene, but in the reality of today NOT.”

Gee, thanks for that reassurance. Either way, the drink has been created, so I just ask, order it some other way. It's a tasty drink, it's just a tasteless name.
