Vegas Bomb Drink

Vegas Bomb Drink Recipe

A Vegas Bomb is a popular whiskey-based bomb shot made by combining Crown Royal whisky, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice in a shot glass, which is then dropped into a glass of chilled energy drink. As the shot mixes with the energy drink, it creates a sweet, fruity, slightly tart, and bubbly cocktail that's known for its smooth taste and exciting presentation.

Ingredients
  

For the Shot
  • ½ ounce Crown Royal Canadian Whisky
  • ½ ounce peach schnapps
  • ½ ounce cranberry juice
For the Glass
  • 4 ounces chilled Red Bull or your preferred energy drink
  • Ice cubes optional, if serving as a cocktail instead of a traditional bomb shot

Equipment

  • Shot glass
  • Highball glass or pint glass
  • Jigger or measuring shot glass
  • Bar spoon (optional)
  • Small cocktail shaker (optional for mixing the shot ingredients)
  • Cocktail pick or garnish (optional)

Method
 

Step 1: Fill the Glass
  1. Pour about 4 ounces of chilled Red Bull into a highball or pint glass. Leave enough room at the top so the drink doesn't overflow when the shot is dropped in.
Step 2: Prepare the Shot
  1. In a shot glass, combine the Crown Royal whisky, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. If preferred, briefly stir or shake these ingredients together before pouring them into the shot glass.
Step 3: Drop the Shot
  1. Carefully place or drop the filled shot glass into the glass of Red Bull. This creates the classic "bomb shot" presentation.
Step 4: Drink Immediately
  1. Consume the drink right after dropping the shot into the energy drink. The flavors combine instantly, creating the signature sweet, fruity, bubbly taste.
Step 5: Optional Cocktail Version
  1. For a slower sipping version, simply pour the whiskey mixture directly into a glass filled with ice and Red Bull instead of dropping the shot glass. Stir gently and enjoy like a regular cocktail.

Notes

The Vegas Bomb is meant to be enjoyed immediately after combining the ingredients. Waiting too long reduces the fizz and freshness.
