Baby Guinness Baby Guinness Cocktail Type Mixed drink shooter/drink shot Standard drinkware Shot glass Commonly used ingredients 3/4 shot (3 parts) Coffee liqueur, 1/4 shot (1 part) Irish cream Preparation Float Irish cream on top of coffee liqueur Notes Variation substitutes black Sambuca for coffee liqueur 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 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. 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. Variations In the U.K. a Baby Guinness is often served with black Sambuca instead of coffee liqueur creating a drink similar to a Slippery Nipple.

In Popular Culture Unable to Confirm Episode of the Office with a Car Bomb - unable to confirm (no mention at tv.com) Maxim article where they ask about a Car Bomb - just an interview In episode 13 of the series 30 Rock, entitled "Up All Night", Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) is at a bar with Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan). He celebrates his divorce from his now-ex-wife Bianca (played by Isabella Rossellini) by drinking several carbombs. Jack closes the bar, leaving the table littered with empty glasses. Not True 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).
