Today we are making cupcakes, but first, we need to start with a cocktail… Did you know that the Irish Car Bomb is one of the most popular drinks in the world? Do you know what is in an Irish Car Bomb?

Irish Car Bomb

1/2 shot Bailey’s Irish cream
1/2 shot premium Irish whiskey
3/4 pint Guinness stout

Layer the Bailey’s and then the Irish whiskey in a shot glass.  Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug.     

Serves 1

Supposedly it is delicious- unless you don’t drink it quickly – then it will curdle and increasingly taste worse and worse.  I wouldn’t know, I do not care for stout beer. One thing I do know is that if you take those three liquors and turn them into cupcakes… WOW! The very best cupcakes I’ve had in a long long time. And positively PERFECT for St. Patrick’s Day!
