For those who don't know, an Irish car bomb is a very tactile drink usually served to celebrate Saint Irish day. I could totally see something like this for 9/11, but my vision is fuzzy. Maybe it would be a drinking game instead of a drink? IDK, but I know I'm on to something here. Ideas?

"Twin Towers". I've heard this is what they serve you if you ask for an Irish Car Bomb in Ireland.

    Reposting my comment from the same thread on AskLemmygrad:

    I heard a story once from someone who claimed to have boneheadedly requested an Irish Car Bomb at an Irish pub. He was apparently told, "We don't serve those here--but we do have the 9/11," and received instead two shots of 151, both on fire.

    Ground Zero: two stacks of sugar cubes dropped into absinthe with activated charcoal. Lighting the sugar on fire before the drop is an optional flair.

    I don't know if the densities would work, but: a pair of Long Island iced teas with a shot of 151 poured on top which is set on fire before drinking

    What's the significance of 151?

    Can you even still get 151? I thought it was discontinued a decade ago.
