    The Best Vegas Bomb Recipe

    If you've never heard of a Vegas bomb shot before - or have never had one - you're in food a good time. 

    This shot is named the Vegas bomb shot because you drop a shot of Red Bull into a glass with a premade mixed drink. So, this recipe isn't actually for a shot. It's really an entire mixed drink! 

    Fruit juices, whisky, and the perfect amount of energy drink all mix together to make one delicious and fun drink. Like, seriously, this drink always makes the party a bit more lively.

    If you're drinking with friends, you have to make this Vegas bomb and see what everyone thinks. With that said, it is loaded with caffeine from the Red Bull, so consume at your own pace and drink responsibly.  

    By the way, if you're looking for some less intense drinks to make after taking this shot, this green tea shot and pink lemonade vodka are two great choices. And if you're looking for an elevated drink to sip on, give this ranch water a try!

    Ingredients

    • Cranberry Juice
    • Whiskey- your favorite kind! I like Crown Royal.
    • Schnapps- I like to use peach schnapps, but any flavor works great. Some of my other favorites are apricot, apple, and watermelon. You could also use regular vodka too.
    • 1 oz. Red Bull-I like to use the sugar free one.
    • Ice- for a crisper flavor.

    If you're picking up cranberry juice, you can use it to make this holiday punch! It's the perfect drink for a party to serve to a crowd.

    How To Make A Vegas Bomb Shot

    Step 1: Combine the ingredients: First, take out a cocktail shaker or something that can be sealed with a lid, like a mason jar, and add some ice cubes to it. Then, you're going to add the cranberry juice, whiskey, and peach schnapps to the cocktail shaker filled with ice.

    Step 2: Shake, shake, shake. Next, cap the cocktail shaker and give it about ten shakes until it's cold on the outside.

    Step 3: Serve. Finally, transfer the cold, mixed cocktail to a large glass and pour the Red Bull into a shot glass. When you're ready to drink it, carefully drop the shot into the glass and enjoy! By the way, if the thought of dropping the shot isn't appealing to you, just mix the Red Bull along with the other ingredients in the cocktail shaker.
