An Irish Slammer is a fun party cocktail made with a glass of Guinness Beer, a shot of whiskey and Baileys. Make it for St. Patrick’s Day!

This Drink Recipe is a party favorite that you may have tried at your local sports bar, and now you can make it yourself in just a couple of minutes. For another fun drink, try my easy Jello Shots!

Sabrina’s Irish Slammer Recipe

By making this drink at home, you can enjoy the popular beer shot with your friends without going out to a sports bar. Although I wouldn’t recommend drinking this strong cocktail frequently, it’s great for getting the party started and making a memorable evening with friends. The novelty alone of dropping a shot in a beer makes this a super fun cocktail. Recreate the full bar experience with favorite pub snacks like Fried Pickles, Buffalo Wings, or Onion Rings.

Ingredients

▢ 1/2 ounce Irish whiskey
▢ 1/2 ounce Baileys Irish cream
▢ 12 ounces Guinness beer

Instructions

Layer the Irish whisky first into the shot glass and carefully pour Bailey’s onto the top of the Irish whiskey using the back of a spoon.
Add Guinness beer to a pint glass (use a 16 ounce glass so the cup is not too full).
When ready to serve, drop the shot glass into the pint glass and chug immediately and as fast as possible.
Note: the longer it takes to drink the more the drink can/will curdle from the Irish cream mixing with the beer.
