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 a vegas bomb, 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!

Anyway, now let's not waste any more time and jump into the ingredients you'll need to make this vegas bomb shot recipe.

Ingredients

This vegas bomb shot recipe is made with just a few simple ingredients. And if you have a bar at home, you probably already have all the ingredients on hand already.

But, if not, don't worry, they're all common finds at your local liquor or convenience store.

Now, here's what you'll need to make the vegas bomb shot:

• 2 oz. Cranberry Juice
• 1 oz. Whiskey
• 2 oz. Peach Schnapps
• 1 oz. Red Bull
• Ice

See? Super simple! 

And 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.

Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Now, this recipe can be adjusted to how you like it, but I have a few preferences. For the number of ice cubes - I like mine to be nice and cold - so I fill the cocktail shaker about ¼ way from the top. However, this is totally up to how you like your drinks.

Now, as far as the flavoring goes, if you want to get adventurous with this vegas bomb drink, you can totally change up the schnapps flavor. You can use apricot, apple, or even watermelon schnapps in place of the peach schnapps liqueur.

As for the whisky, Crown Royal is a Canadian whiskey and is the classic recipe choice. But, if you have a whisky that you prefer, by all means, use that one. And, of course, if you don't like whiskey, feel free to use any liquor like vodka.

Now, let's get shaking!

Then, you're going to add the cranberry juice, whiskey, and peach schnapps to the cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Step 2: Shake

Next, cap the cocktail shaker and give it about ten shakes until it's cold on the outside.

Step 3: Pour and Serve

Finally, transfer the cold, mixed cocktail to a large glass and pour the Red Bull into a shot glass.

Then, when you're ready to drink it, carefully drop the shot into the glass and enjoy!
