Boilermaker (shooter)

By Colleen Graham, About.com

Shot Glass

Glass Guide- Shot Glass

The Boilermaker is as popular as the Irish Car Bomb and Jäger Bomb and has the same ability to get you drunk very quick, making it a popular party drink. When drinking dropped shots one needs to take care not to get too wild (although that’s a rarity in this case). Shot glasses floating freely inside the bigger glass have been known to chip many teeth, so consider yourself warned. That hazard and the intoxicating effect of downing beer and whiskey so quickly deems the Boilermaker worthy of only the bravest (or craziest) of drinkers.

Ingredients:

  • 15 oz draft beer (lighter is best)
  • 1 ½ oz blended whiskey

Preparation:

  1. Pour a shot of whiskey in a shot glass.
  2. Fill a pint glass with beer.
  3. Drop the shot glass into the beer and down everything in one drink.
