or anything else for that matter

How do you draw a shamrock in guiness?
dip a straw or q-tip in green food coloring and just draw it in the head of the beer.
Reply:It is done when pouring the beer.





You move the glass around as the beer is being filled.





Use one continuous motion, start aat the base (stem) of the shamrock then move up to do each of the points, which are small circles.





It only works in guiness and kilkenny (or similar style beers) as the head retention on these is much much higher. If you have pourn the beer properly it will stay on the beer after every sip and will still be the last thing left in the glass.


Takes a bit of practice but you should get it after a few pours.
Reply:The above answer is correct, but keep in mind that when he says it's done while pouring, it's referring to Draught beer, when Guinness is on tap.


That's the only way to do it properly. Don't get me wrong, I'll be experimenting this weekend and Monday to try to do it at home without the tap...
