Sister Sousa, working with USAID in Kabul, Afghanistan, tells me that insurgents have been known to strap improvised explosive devices to hapless jackasses (the animals, not the insurgents) that are then led into crowded marketplaces and detonated - donkey bombs. A world away, in Tijuana, Mexico, these poor beasts are subjected to another form of inhumane treatment. They are painted from head to hoof in black and white stripes so tourists will pay a few pesos to take pictures with these zebra-like donkeys, known as zonkeys. In recognition of these oft-abused pack animals, I have created the Zonkey Bomb.
Zonkey Bomb
- 1 shot glass Dulseda Dulce de Leche liqueur
- 1 pint glass Negra Modelo dark beer
Drop the shot glass into the beer and drink. It’s better than you think.

I concur - it IS better than you think. I am a self proclaimed hater of beer and this drink was delicious. It was creamy, refreshing and wonderful. Give it a try and drink it fast!
Mmmmm…my favorite of all of your original libations. Sort of like an alcoholic milkshake. Soooo good.
One caveat…it must be pounded: if you let the liqueur sit in the beer for more than a few seconds it starts to curdle.
Bottoms up!
And like a Kabul market, this will probably explode in my stomach. I’ll pass. The Royal York is more my style… A sippin’ drink. No booms. Goes well with flap jacks.
