Wells / Bombs Recipe

Choose Glasses

Select a pint glass (16 oz) for the beer and a standard 1.5 oz shot glass for the spirit. Ensure both are clean and chilled if possible.

Tilt the pint glass at about 45 degrees and pour 16 oz of the light lager or pale ale down the side to fill the glass, allowing a small 1/2–1 inch head to form. Set the beer on the bar or table.

Measure 1.5 oz of the chosen spirit (whiskey, flavored vodka, rum, tequila, or Jägermeister) into the shot glass. If making a Jägerbomb, instead measure 1.5 oz Jägermeister and have 3 oz energy drink in a separate small glass or pour the energy drink into the pint with beer as preferred.

There are two common ways to enjoy: 1) Traditional well + shot: Place the shot on the side and sip the beer, then take the shot separately. 2) Bomb/drop method: Right before drinking, drop the shot glass into the pint glass of beer and immediately drink the mixture. For Jägerbombs pour the energy drink into the pint, then drop the Jäger shot into the pint and drink quickly.

For tequila option, moisten the rim of the shot glass with the lime wedge and dip in salt. Use the lime wedge to chase the shot if desired. For whiskey or rum, no garnish is necessary but a lime or lemon wedge can be provided for aroma.
