Bomb Drinks, From Jäger Bombs to Sake Bombs

How to Make and Drink the Hottest Bomb Drinks Around

Aug 18, 2008

The bomb is fast replacing the shooter as the drink of choice in nightclubs and bars all across America.

Combining perennial favorites with energy drinks, stouts, or beer, while jazzing up the method of delivery, bombs offer a jolt of fun and festivity to any drinking occasion. Whether as just a quick pick me up or as a compliment to your favorite drink at the local bar, these bombs are sure to be a hit.

1. Jäger Bomb

Ingredients:

1 ½ ounce of Jägermeister (chilled)
4 ounces of Red Bull Energy Drink

Directions: Pour the Red Bull into a pint glass and the Jägermeister into a shot glass. Drop the shot glass of Jägermeister into the Red Bull and chug.

2. Irish Car Bomb

Ingredients:

¾ ounce of Bailey’s Irish Cream
¾ ounce of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey
4 ounces of Guinness Stout

Directions: Pour 4 ounces of Guinness Stout into a pint glass. Allow Guinness to settle for approximately a minute and a half. Mix the Bailey’s Irish Cream and the Jameson’s Irish Whiskey together in a shot glass. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug, making sure, as with all Guinness drinks, to keep your eyes on the horizon.

3. Vegas Bomb

Ingredients:

¾ ounce of Crown Royal Whiskey
½ ounce of Peach Schnapps
¼ ounce of Malibu Coconut Rum
4 ounces of Red Bull Energy Drink
Splash of Cranberry Juice

Directions: Pour 4 ounces of Red Bull into a pint glass, topping it with a splash of cranberry juice. Mix Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, and Malibu Coconut Rum in a shot glass. Drop the shot glass into the Red Bull and chug.

4. Sake Bomb

Ingredients:

1 ½ ounce of Warm Sake
4 ounces of Draft Beer

Directions: Pour 4 ounces of beer into a pint glass. Pour warm Sake into a shot glass. Now comes the tricky part, using a set of chopsticks, balance the shot of Sake on top of the beer glass. The chopsticks should be spaced apart so that the outer edges of the shot glass are balanced on them.

Once the shot is securely balanced, the shooter should begin to chant “ichi…ni…san…SAKE BOMB,” slamming both fists down on the bar, one on either side of the pint glass, at the end of the chant. This will cause the shot glass to fall into the beer at which point the chopsticks should be discarded and the whole concoction chugged.

5. Creek Bomb

1 ½ ounce of Knob Creek Bourbon
2 ounces of Red Bull Energy Drink
2 ounces of Pineapple Juice

Directions: Pour 1 ½ ounce of Knob Creek bourbon into a shot glass. Mix 2 ounces of Red Bull energy drink and 2 ounces of pineapple juice in a pint glass. Drop the shot glass into the mixture, toast by clinking the pint glass to another and then striking its base on the bar or table, then chug.

Helpful Tip:

Some folks complain about the danger of having the shot glass hit them in the teeth during the chugging phase of doing a bomb. As a general rule, the lips should always remain over the teeth while doing a bomb, it’s just good policy. Failing that, it’s possible to just pour the shot into the pint glass before chugging, and always enjoy bombs responsibly.
