Ingredients

Served in a pint glass, it comprises half a pint of lager and a third to a half pint of cola. A shot glass of amaretto is dropped into the glass as a "bomb shot".[1]

Variants

There is a variant known as the Flaming Dr Pepper. This is made with a half pint of beer and a shot, without any cola. The shot glass is filled with three quarters of amaretto and one quarter of 151-proof liquor. The shot is then set on fire and dropped into the beer.
