The Irish Car Bomb, or Irish Shot (among other names), was invented in 1979 by Charles Burke Cronin Oat in Norwich, Connecticut. The name is a reference to the fact that all the ingredients are from Ireland but also to the series of car bombing that happened in Ireland during “The Troubles.” Some deem the name offensive and have begun using other names. It is a bomb shot, not unlike the Vegas Bomb or Sake Bomb. The Shot Glass is normally dropped into the Pint Glass, but some like to just pour it in.
