[–]Helveticant 120 points121 points ago

Look how much of my fucking drink splashed out.

Ass.

[–]asshatnowhere 38 points39 points ago

2/10 wouldn't drink.

[–]CryoGuy 6 points7 points ago

Look at the uneven levels in the cups in the first place.

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 6 points7 points ago

I know, The last glass barely has any drink in it at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the glass chipped as it hit the other glass.

[–]duxup 3 points4 points ago

Wait until you see how much that drink costs at a bar...

[–]N2tZ -2 points-1 points ago

And in the end you're getting a drink with a shot glass in it

[–]WinterIsntComing 24 points25 points ago

This is very, very common.

[–]toinfinitiandbeyond 0 points1 point ago

It's probably a Yeager (Jager) bomb.

Geez mon!

[–]toinfinitiandbeyond 2 points3 points ago

I'm blaming my phone for that one.

[–]FlAkeBuRst 1 point2 points ago

Jäger

[–]skarface6 1 point2 points ago

Except there's almost nothing in the glasses before he drops the shots in. Aren't Yeager bombs bigger than that?

[–]Jabullz -2 points-1 points ago

Its prolly just some water and soda. Unless theyre people who are true garbage.

[–]d_spaceley1 -5 points-4 points ago

Look at the amount of drink spread across all the glasses, a boss bartender would get an even amount of one shot in each glass. In conclusion this bartender is not a boss.

[–]Shiby92 10 points11 points ago

Bartender here, easiest trick you can do... Seriously takes no effort, anyone can do it.

[–]polite_upvote_guy 7 points8 points ago

Agreed, and look how smug and accomplished the dude looks. What a douche.

[–]Kensin 0 points1 point ago

Spaz here, looks like something I could fuck up... Seriously, I'd be cleaning broken glass off the bar all night.

[–]4evrnoob 48 points49 points ago

Naa.. the boss is the guy who serves me my drink without spilling a drop.

[–]lydocia 9 points10 points ago

And who gives me exactly as much alcohol as the other guy ordering the same drink.

[–]kamiikoneko 0 points1 point ago

Really? I prefer the bartender who knows I'm a good customer and gives me more.

[–]Aesir81 4 points5 points ago

This is not real bartending skill.

[–]hillbillyesq 28 points29 points ago

I wonder how much coke this guy snorts per shift.

[–]paulbenyan07 7 points8 points ago

[Boss walks in] Amazing. Now clean that shit up before the guests hands get sticky.

[–]jcarberry 10 points11 points ago

As someone who doesn't drink frequently, can someone explain what's going on? Is he actually making a drink, or is this just a trick shot with glasses and reddish-brown liquids?

[–]radbro 19 points20 points ago

There is a category of drink called a "bomb", where a shot of liquor is dropped into a glass of some other drink and usually consumed immediately.

A Jägerbomb is a shot of Jägermeister added to a glass of Red Bull. An Irish Car Bomb is a shot of Jameson and Bailey's Irish Cream dropped into a glass of Guinness.

[–]ngmcs8203 7 points8 points ago

When did jagerbombs become jager and red bull? Before red bull was sold, a jagerbomb was jager and beer and was delicious.

[–]Penismonologue 4 points5 points ago

That is still the appropriate jägerbomb in my world...

[–]ImHavingAnOrgasm 1 point2 points ago

exactly. chugging red bull sounds awful

[–]GhostchantXI 0 points1 point ago

upvote for proper bombage

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 0 points1 point ago

The red bull with jager came about a few months after red bull started being sold. Its yummy. Now a jager bloody mary, that is disgusting. I don't even know why it's a drink.

[–]ngmcs8203 0 points1 point ago

Yes I remember that but I still done remember when jäger and red bull became the new jäger bomb. It's been about 7 years since I regularly went to the bars mind you.

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 1 point2 points ago

It's been more than 7 years easily. Since 2002, I believe. A lot of spring breakers were dying from alcohol poisoning due to these shots. I read about it in the paper when I was a sophomore in high school. Edit: the Red bull is an energy drink, so people wouldn't feel drunk and couldn't tell they were inebriated. Then they would pass out and die. Over the years bartenders lowered the amount of red bull per shot and made them less dangerous.

[–]ngmcs8203 0 points1 point ago

I remember red bull and vodka aka speed bulls/balls were popular and killing people.

[–]1O1I0III01O10I1O01 1 point2 points ago

ive consumed a LOT of red bull and alcohol in one night and i can say the red bull does not dampen your drunk feeling. this sounds more like suburban-mom hysteria hype

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 0 points1 point ago

I'm with you. When I worked at a club I would drink jager bombs A LOT. About half a bottle of jager sometimes, and I never got that energetic feeling. The bartenders said it's because I was so used to drinking them. I wouldn't even get headaches. Now the newbies who had never tried them, on the other hand, would puke. But I've never understood the whole energy drink theory.

[–]t_Lancer 7 points8 points ago

irish car bomb ಠ_ಠ How lovley.

[–]snowbored10 54 points55 points ago

Would you prefer a "Hurricane Katrina"? In this wonderful endeavor the drinker takes a shot of bourbon, then a bystander throws a full glass of water in the drinker's face (the hurricane), and as they are trying to recover and figure out what the hell just happened, the bystander slaps them in the face (FEMA).

[–]mooksbro 3 points4 points ago

Reminds me of the joke when an American frat boy goes into an Irish Bar and asks for an Irish car bomb. The surly Irish barman gruffly says :"No! , we don't serve that drink in here. Tell you what, I'll make a different one just for you". He goes and gets two shot glasses, fills them both with sambucca and sets them alight. After a moment, he flicks the shot glasses with his fingers where they smash off the bar and burst into flames. The frat boy says "What type of fucking drink is that?". The barman replies "I call it the twin towers. Now piss off ya prick."

[–]Falconhaxx 2 points3 points ago

Or a Tequila Ironman:

Snort a line of salt, take a shot of tequila, squeeze lime juice in your eyes. Scream.

[–]SkyWulf 1 point2 points ago

Screaming's really not optional, is it?

[–]Falconhaxx 0 points1 point ago

Not really.

[–]ballstatemarine 5 points6 points ago

Then George W. Bush shits on them.

[–]iaacp 5 points6 points ago

Then Kanye West shows up claiming "Bush hates black people!"

[–]PabbleDabble 7 points8 points ago

Then Mike Myers does a double take, while praying the camera guy cuts to a commercial.

[–]t_Lancer 1 point2 points ago

well that's just splendid.

[–]superherowithnopower 1 point2 points ago

I'll take 2!

[–]skarface6 0 points1 point ago

Except that the cajuns have drunk hurricanes (SoCo + deliciousness) for a long time before Katrina, so your drink should include that somehow.

[–]Cheezburger -1 points0 points ago

Well i'm pretty sure drinking an Irish Car Bomb shot doesn't blow you up so you're kind of taking things out of proportion a little aren't you?

[–]midnightsbane04 12 points13 points ago

Tasty as fuck though, imo.

[–]myopinionstinks 1 point2 points ago

The last thing I remember from my 21st.

[–]al0newestand 0 points1 point ago

I guess. You have to drink it really fast so it doesn't coagulate, so I never get to taste much of it.

[–]Baskojin 1 point2 points ago

Doesn't look like a car bomb. Looks like its a b-52. There isn't guiness in those glasses.

[–]InvaderDJ 0 points1 point ago

I've heard it recommended that if you're near an Irish bar you call it a depth charge. Probably a good way to get an ass whooping otherwise.

[–]Kadaven -3 points-2 points ago

Many Americans do not know or simply refuse to accept that the phrase "Irish car bomb" is offensive.

One of my friends learned that the hard way after ordering one in Galway.

[–]Uncle-Dads-Whistle 1 point2 points ago

Let me guess, the bartender served him two flaming shots and called it a "Twin Towers"

[–]Little-Penguin 2 points3 points ago

I don't think most Irish people would find them offensive tbh, there's at least two clubs in Galway who advertise selling them in their drink specials

[–]hoboto 1 point2 points ago

I've had two people from Dublin, Ireland who flat out told me to not call it that.

[–]formerlylurkinlurker 0 points1 point ago

It's a fucking name for a shot. Just like royal fuck, buttery nipple, and cunt juice. They're attractive names for the customers. If people are going into a bar complaining about a stupid senseless shot name, they should just stay home.

[–]hoboto 1 point2 points ago

Hey, I don't care. I was just providing a counter point to the previous poster's "I don't think anyone from Ireland cares" comment.

[–]mr-peabody 2 points3 points ago

I think because most don't know why it is called that. I heard it a few times growing up, but it wasn't until I lived in England for a few years that I learned why it is called that (not the hard way).

I stopped using that phrase immediately.

[–]misterraider 0 points1 point ago

I'm Irish and I'd never even heard about this drink until a year ago.

[–]lion_in_a_coma 0 points1 point ago

What is the non-offensive name then?

[–]malachymac95 -2 points-1 points ago

"Jameson's and Bailey's in Guinness"

[–]InvaderDJ 0 points1 point ago

I've heard that it's best to call them depth charges if you think someone will be offended.

[–]jcarberry 0 points1 point ago

I've heard of Jagerbombs or sake variants thereof, but I'm wondering if this is actually such a drink, or if it's just artistic mess-making?

[–]Penismonologue 0 points1 point ago

It is though jägerbombs used to be a pint with a shot of jäger inn it.

[–]Dubzil 3 points4 points ago

I'd guess just trick shot because if I saw that much of my paid for drink splash out, I'd be telling him to try again and keep it in the glass this time.

[–]swampfish 3 points4 points ago

I wonder how much chipped glass is in those drinks?

[–]Langly- 7 points8 points ago

  1. Drink Them All
  2. Find out at the hospital
  3. ???
  4. Profit

[–]Wykk 3 points4 points ago

Relevant.

(skip to 2:25 for the action if you're impatient)

[–]anepmas 1 point2 points ago

So much... wasted.... alcohol...

[–]Wykk 0 points1 point ago

Hah... that or NOBODY left sober that night...

[–]DonovanDunedain 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, not all that impressed. I worked in nightclub security for about 5 years and have seen much better with a lot more precision.

[–]STJRedstorm 0 points1 point ago

Now, I may be a couch critic, but I feel like this is a pretty simple trick. There is barely any prep when it comes to the drink itself and the only really challenge is positioning the shot glasses the right way. Everything else is pomp and circumstance. 3/10

[–]madmonkeymud 0 points1 point ago

There's probably a ton of chalk in the first two.

[–]BigDogVX 0 points1 point ago

Bad ass

[–]Lolazaurus 0 points1 point ago

I'm more impressed with the setup than the execution.

[–]Skippydero 0 points1 point ago

Still pretty cool looking!

[–]reali-tglitch 0 points1 point ago

He is bartending like a boss indeed.

[–]Kaycin 0 points1 point ago

F6 also works.

[–]duxup 0 points1 point ago

They put a glass in my glass....

[–]theHoodness 0 points1 point ago

i dont think the first glass(nearest to him) even got a shot.. and the unsuspecting patron paid for it.

[–]polite_upvote_guy 0 points1 point ago

It's domino's dude... thanks for mixing us up a glass full of physics.

[–]Mazman369 0 points1 point ago

Is this Ronnie O'Sullivan??

[–]Dringlenut 0 points1 point ago

Stupid drinks require lots of gimmicky tricks or games involved. Why not drink good shit and stop grab-assin' around?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

That doesn't look very difficult.

[–]Jabullz 0 points1 point ago

This is awesome.

[–]danboy4 0 points1 point ago

Bar tending like a BOSS

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjNcUZuP6ro

For video of record go to 2:20 (probably going to want to mute it too)

[–]Kind_Of_A_Dick 0 points1 point ago

And I'm sure more than one of those shot glasses broke/chipped, meaning you're going to get a nice swig of broken glass. Seen it happen more than a few times during my time as a bartender.

[–]TheLoveTin 1 point2 points ago

Halfs the drinks on the counter and it probably took 15 minutes to set that up. Bartenders who impress me keep everyone's glasses full in a timely manner.

[–]piedmontwachau 0 points1 point ago

I can't wait to drink up that broken glass.

[–]Surfsideryan -2 points-1 points ago

unmeasured pours, tons of liquor wasted (raises cost to bar), and its just a simple bomb. Any idiot bartender can set up drinks next to each other, top with shot glasses, then domino them down.

This really shows no skill of a bartender.

[–]certnneed -5 points-4 points ago

those are some pretty short shots!

[–]workpuppy 5 points6 points ago

No, they're just in deep/wide glasses.

Whenever you see something like this its on a cruise or at the beach or something, and the drink is one of those absurdly cheap specials made with whatever the well liquor is. The customer is getting a show and a glass of something that they probably can't even taste due to advanced inebriation.

[–]Niqulaz 0 points1 point ago

Or alternatively The Special in some idiot-club, where you pay $200 for it, and there's a special theme music that gets played whenever some over-funded idiot decides to play The Big Man and order The Special.

[–]workpuppy 0 points1 point ago

Yea, exactly. It's still just well booze though, seasoned with some showmanship.

[–]Niqulaz 0 points1 point ago

Of course.

You can get a long way with grenadine, orange juice and a splash of shitty vodka.

[–]duxup 0 points1 point ago

I read

short shorts

I was disappointed.

[–]thomasamagne 0 points1 point ago

Why did you look back?? Should've just walked away
