The Blowjob

About The Blowjob

Yup. So glad to have the word “blowjob” on www.EmpireMixology.com so that the two pop-up in Google©. Anyway, this is typically served as a “birthday” shot and is popular in younger clubs and college town bars. So you might be asking why is this drink called what it is. Well it’s because the shot has whipped cream on top and…..*looks out window, you can’t use your hands to drink it. Yup, mouth to glass and tip it back.

Ingredients:

• 1 part Amaretto

• 1 part Irish Cream

• Whipped Cream

The Nutty Irishman

About The Nutty Irishman

There’s quite a few ways to make the Nutty Irishman, and even this version below can have Irish Whiskey added to it in order to have a “kick.” The two constants of this recipe no matter what the variation are Irish Cream and Hazelnut Liqueur. We chose to keep it simple but mess around and invent something way better!

Ingredients:

• 1 part Irish Cream

• 1 part Hazelnut Liqueur

The B-52

About The B-52

Ooh Look! A shot that’s also an IBA Official Cocktail! Invented in Canada, the B-52 is named after the band, and not the B-52 Stratofortress Bomber (although the band is named after it, but hey whatever). This shot can be turned into a flaming shot by putting a thin layer of overproof rum on top of the shot and igniting. REMEMBER TO BLOW IT OUT BEFORE YOU SHOOT IT.

Ingredients:

• 1 part Coffee Liqueur

• 1 part Irish Cream

• 1 part Grand Marnier©

The Fallen Froggie

About The Fallen Froggie

Meet the far eastern cousin of the Brain Hemorrhage shot, the Fallen Froggie. Also known as the Squished Frog, this visually……interesting shot is packed with flavor and isn’t too strong since the alcoholic ingredients are low proof. Arguably sweeter than the original recipe, and typically always more sweet than its other cousin the Alien Brain Hemorrhage, the Fallen Froggie is a an interesting way to start off a night or keep the party going. The flavor is a meld of sweet melon, pomegranate, peach, and Irish cream. Note the consistency is NOT smooth and the grenadine and cream combine to make the shot thick.

Ingredients:

• 1 part Peach Schnapps

• Dash of Melon Liqueur

• Float Irish Cream

• Drop of Grenadine

Method:

The Brain Hemorrhage

About The Brain Hemorrhage

Say hello to the best conversation starter in the bar, the Brain Hemorrhage. This creepy cocktail is a fan favorite due to its sweet flavor, low proof ingredients, and its visually pleasing or unpleasing form. Thanks to ionization and density (science!) this cocktail is able to form the namesake cloud of Irish Cream. This shot is thicker in consistency due to the high density Grenadine and Irish Cream used, so use caution and be mentally prepared when throwing these back or it might make a comeback. A great way to start a night out and impress your friends, we highly recommend this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 part Peach Schnapps

• Float Irish Cream

The Irish Car Bomb

About The Irish Car Bomb

The Irish Car Bomb is a controversial American cocktail recipe featuring many ingredients of Irish origin. The “explosion” effect of the Baileys into the beer drew the idea for the name of this cocktail. Be warned, ordering this drink in Ireland can be seen as offensive as it refers to a difficult time in Irish history. Overall, the drink is fairly heavy in taste and remains a popular barplace staple in the States.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 oz. Irish Cream

• 1/2 oz. Irish Whiskey

• 1 Pint Irish Stout Beer

Method:

Empire Tip: Make a Belfast Car Bomb by adding Kahlua to the shot!
