Introduction
Boilemakers are staples in classic American bar culture. This has been demonstrated by their inclusion in popular cinema since the 1930s. Films such as The Nutty Professor, The Bad News Bears and John Wayne's Brannigan have all featured this stiff cocktail. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilermaker_(beer_cocktail)- This is an incredibly simple drink to make, and it has spawned many modern-day depth charge shots. The boilermaker is an important part of any bartender's repertoire.
Step 1: What You Need to Make a Boilermaker
A boilermaker has only two ingredients: whiskey and beer. As such, you will certainly be tasting your alcohol, so don't settle for cheap brands if you care about flavor. A boilermaker is only as good as the ingredients you use. In addition to the liquor, you will also need a pint glass and a small shot glass.Step 2: Making and Drinking the Boilermaker
To make the boilermaker, follow these steps:- Pour a full shot of whiskey into your shot glass
- Fill your pint glass 3/4 full with beer
- Drop the shot glass into the pint glass
- Gulp down the entire drink in one swig (be careful not to let the shot glass hit your teeth, as it is very possible to chip a tooth if you slam it too fast)
- If you don't want to use the drop method, drink the shot and immediately follow with the beer as a chaser
Step 3: Variations
- Use Irish whiskey (such as Jamesons) and Guinness beer to make an Irish car bomb
- For a sake bomb, drop a shot of sake into your beer instead of whiskey http://en.allexperts.com/e/b/bo/boilermaker_(cocktail).htm
- To make a Korean Poktanju, substitute soju for the whiskey, and drop into any Korean beer
- Make an October Crisis by adding a dash of maple syrup to Canadian whiskey, and drop into Canadian beer (such as Labatt Blue)
