Try it with Rumple Minze instead of Jameson. It tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Had 4 of these at the bar when I turned 21. Felt like death the next day.

Chocolate Milk for adults.... WOW!!!! What more can I say

Just to clear the air, I was born in Ireland, moved to the states, and visit my home town all the time. Irish car bombs are called Irish car bombs there too. Go figure! But really, Irish Whiskey,(Jameson) Irish Cream,(Baileys) and Irish bear,(Guiness) is all I drink. And puting them together was a bloody good call.

By bryaan on August 22nd, 2009 at 17:55:36

love these things....gotta pace yourself

By Sexy Sadie on August 10th, 2009 at 16:43:34

I tried these for the first time last night. I was very skeptical because I don't care for beer, but they were awesome! I have a really high tolerance for alcohol, but these did the trick after only three. Of course, Senor Cuervo started out the evening, but still...

Yes it does refer to the IRA bombings on Bloody Friday which is sensitive for a lot of people. It's believed that supporting the drink supports the acts associated with it's name.
But with all that said the drink is still really good!

By gookas419 on June 18th, 2009 at 16:21:06

i was skeptical at first, maybe even a little timid, but after my first one, i was ready to blow some shit up.

By ems on June 1st, 2009 at 23:46:24

It's lovely. :D

By Saabaru on May 22nd, 2009 at 09:28:18

In Ireland it's almost suicide to order this drink. I've heard the drink refers to the IRA car bombings and a lot of Irish bartenders will refuse to sell it.

By o'flannery on May 9th, 2009 at 13:48:38

tastes like a Snickers bar!

By lcdaywalker on April 18th, 2009 at 17:57:08

It's called an "Irish Car Bomb" because all three ingredients are from Ireland. By law, Irish whiskey must be produced in Ireland and aged in wooden casks for a period of not less than three years.

A "Car Bomb" includes straight grain whiskey which is an American whiskey that has been aged in charred new oak containers for two years.

So in other words, if you ask for a "Car Bomb, you get cheaper, less tasteful whiskey and pay the same price. I recommend asking for the "Irish Car Bomb" which makes it 100% Irish and then cheers to John Jameson out of respect.

Worst hangover of life... i don't remember anything after the fifth one.

By Drinkwriteordontatall on March 31st, 2009 at 21:49:01

Yeah your missing the fact that you spaced it OUT! Hopefully you had something in between those! Anybody can walk straight after having 4 drinks in three hours.

By Jina on March 15th, 2009 at 17:42:43

I may just be able to handle it but i had 4 in 3 hours and was still walking straight... did i miss something?

By Black Thorne on March 11th, 2009 at 14:10:42

Freakin' Delacious!! (yes i know its not spelled correctly). One of my favorite drinks

By roz on March 2nd, 2009 at 15:45:09

Any more than two is a car wreck

By Pat on February 26th, 2009 at 12:56:39

I had a few of these the other night and by the end I was hugging a pole at the bar... I love it

By BJC on January 25th, 2009 at 19:13:02

Delicious & does the job quick! Enjoy judiciously or you will be appearing before judges to 'splain yourself!

By Dae on January 12th, 2009 at 03:22:57

I don't know how many I had that night... All I know is my liver hurts just thinking about it... I'd do it all again though.

By skoshigod on January 9th, 2009 at 11:02:57

I asked a fellow of Irish descent if he had ever had an "Irish Car-Bomb" and he about took my head off. I'm not into the PC thing but he suggested I refer to the drink as simply "Car-Bomb" and leave the Irish out of it.
Great drink either way.

By Pico on December 31st, 2008 at 10:41:11

I had this the other day for the first time at an Irish only club called "The Order of the Hibernians". This shit was amazing!

By eugene01 on December 13th, 2008 at 15:11:50

It will trash you out, quick.

By jj on December 8th, 2008 at 20:31:24

yes drink it fast or it will curdle

By Grim on October 26th, 2008 at 22:47:51

My IRISH bartenders use at least a 3/4 pint..

And they are more likely to get offended if you do not call it an Irish Car Bomb

By Chris on October 24th, 2008 at 15:59:01

Fantastic!

By thomas stremme on October 12th, 2008 at 14:51:20

dont call it an
'irish' car bomb
you might offend some bartenders

By j on September 20th, 2008 at 20:33:42

it is a great tasting drink that will get you trashed! so dont drink it too fast

By Heavyarms on September 12th, 2008 at 19:43:20

Holy shit...Tasty, and lots of fun at parties. Leaves a chocolate milk after taste. The Bailey's settles nice at the bottom.

By sir crazyass on August 18th, 2008 at 21:45:41

way more manly than a jager bomb, and tastier too
