What do you call it when you make an Americano but instead of diluting the espresso with water, you use drip coffee? I've always called these things "depth charges" but lately I have beenmeeting baristas who don't seem to have ever heard the term confused.gifbigdrink.gif

I think that's an "Irish Carbomb" or something like that.

 

 

edit: Belfast carbomb = 1/2 shot whiskey, 1/2 shot Bailey's Irish Cream, drop shot into pint O' Guiness, finish immediately.

Boilermaker = 1.5oz whiskey dropped into 12oz beer.

YES, th bigdrink.gifat is what it is. I knew there was a name for that. I had an Italian co-worker who used to drag me out to bars and make me do those. He could not beleive that me being Irish had never heard of them before.
