This week back in 1996, the British government announced the Stone of Scone was going home. The Stone, a 340-pound sandstone block, sat on a shelf within Britain’s coronation chair for 700 years… much to the chagrin of the Scots, from whom it was taken back in the 13th century. Toast its return with this Scottish take on the classic “car bomb” cocktail…as prepared by a guy named Hans in Texas.

“The Kelvin Car Bomb”, as crowned by Hans Gerner, owner of The Kelvin Arms in Houston, TX.

In a pint glass pour:

  • 1/2 pint Belhaven Scottish Ale

In a separate shot glass, combine:

  • 1 oz. Scotch
  • 1 oz. Drambuie

Drop the shot glass in the pint glass, chug, get stoned.
