Ingredients

  • 1 can or bottle (14.9 oz) Guinness Draught or another Irish dry stout
  • 0.5 oz Irish cream liqueur, chilled
  • 0.75 oz Irish whiskey

Build

  1. Pour the stout into a clean pint glass held at 45°, filling three-quarters. Let the surge settle, then top it up for a thick, creamy head.
  2. Pour the Irish cream into the shot glass.
  3. Float the whiskey on top over the back of a bar spoon so it sits in an amber layer above the cream.
  4. Serve the shot beside the pint. Sip one, then the other.

Zero-proof twin
