Typically, a standard pint glass and a shot glass are recommended. The pint glass holds the beer, and the shot glass holds the cognac.
While the New York Bomb is traditionally alcoholic, you can mimic the experience by using a non-alcoholic brandy and a non-alcoholic beer. The effect, however, will be quite different.
While the dropping of a shot glass into a pint glass is part of making a 'bomb' shot, it should be done very carefully to avoid breakage. Dropping from a low height is recommended.
The New York Bomb should be consumed immediately after the shot glass is dropped into the beer to enjoy the full effervescence and flavor combination.
While it shares similarities with cocktails, it's more accurately categorized as a 'bomb shot' due to the way it's prepared and consumed.
To reduce foaming, pour the beer gently to retain minimal carbonation, and drop the shot in slowly from a close distance.
Batch preparation is not recommended for the New York Bomb as the drink is meant to be enjoyed fresh and the experience of the 'drop' is part of the enjoyment.
