Tips For Making A Vegas Bomb Cocktail

  • Be careful when dropping the shot into the glass. Try to drop it from just above the Red Bull, so it doesn't break the glass or splash too much.

  • Some people add a bit of Malibu Coconut Rum to the shot, to add a bit of extra flavor and alcohol. To make room for it, you can reduce the amount of Cranberry Juice.

  • Don't worry too much about getting the quantities right, since this is a shot, so it doesn't really matter too much.

  • Drink this quickly once you've dropped the shot into the glass.

  • If you don't want it to be a "bomb" cocktail, then you can just mix the shot ingredients in the glass with the Red Bull, and serve with ice.

How To Drink A Vegas Bomb Cocktail

Drinking a Vegas Bomb Shot is a bit of a spectacle and part of its fun charm! Here's how you do it:

  1. Take your shot glass filled with the mix of Crown Royal, Peach Schnapps, and cranberry juice.

  2. Grab a glass about half-full of Red Bull.

  3. Now, drop the shot glass into the Red Bull glass.

  4. As soon as the shot glass is in the Red Bull, start drinking as quickly and safely as you can.

Remember to drink responsibly!

What Does A Vegas Bomb Taste Like?

The Vegas Bomb Shot packs a punch but is well-balanced. The Crown Royal offers a rich base, while the peach schnapps brings a tropical, fruity flavor. Cranberry juice adds a tart note that compliments the sweetness, and the Red Bull gives a fizzy, energizing finish.

Today, the Vegas Bomb remains a popular choice for those seeking a sweet, flavorful shot that packs a punch, reminding us that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
