Bomb shot


A bomb shot, depth charge, or drop shot, is a mixed drink that is made by mixing two drinks. A drink in a small glass is dropped into a larger glass holding a different drink. The resulting cocktail is typically consumed as quickly as possible. Recently, the term has become more loosely defined as simply a shot that is made by mixing two drinks.

Preparation

A bomb shot typically consists of a shot glass of hard liquor that is dropped into a glass partially filled with beer but sometimes with some other beverage. Many variations exist. When the shot is dropped into a superpint it is commonly known as a "Depth Charge," because it resembles the anti-submarine weapon being dropped on a target.
Examples of popular bomb shots include:
