Vegas Bomb Shot Recipe
Looking for a fun and fruity cocktail shot to whip up at your next party? Look no further than this delicious Vegas Bomb Shot recipe!
The Vegas Bomb Shot, also known as Vegas Bomb, is a fun party drink.
You consume it by first dropping the shot glass of mixed ingredients into a large glass of Red Bull for a very bubbly and fun splash action!
Yes, you can drink it as a cocktail and mix everything in the cocktail shaker to avoid the mess, but what’s the fun in that?!
What is a Vegas Bomb Shot?
The Vegas Bomb drink is a combination of an energy drink (like Red Bull) and a shot of mixed ingredients known as the “Royal Flush”.
The original Royal Flush shot is made with Crown Royal whiskey, cranberry juice, and peach schnapps. The Royal Crown whiskey lends its nice oaky notes to the rest of the sweet and fruity ingredients.
We love doing fun things with whiskey like turning it into a Whiskey Dreamsicle Cocktail, a Whiskey Ice Sphere or even incorporating it into ice cream for a whiskey caramel sauce.
What’s in the Vegas Bomb Shot Cocktail?
Crown Royal whiskey — A classical whiskey brand. If you don’t have this one in hand, feel free to use the one you have or prefer.
Peach schnapps — For fruitiness and sweetness. Also used in Gummy Bear Shots and Rose Martini.
Cranberry juice — For a tart and fruity touch. (Just make sure to use cocktail cranberry juice and not the concentrate since that one is too tart)
Malibu rum — For a nice coconut addition to the fruity mix and also the star in a Malibu Bay Breeze.
Red Bull — For the ultimate bubbly, sweet and caffeinated ingredient that is also in an Irish Trash Can.
Useful Equipment
Cocktail jigger — To measure the ingredients that go into the shot.
Cocktail shaker — To chill and mix the ingredients (except the Red bull)
Tall glass and tall shot glass — Preferably a sturdy one
How to Make the Vegas Bomb Shot
1 — Fill a cocktail shaker half way up with ice and add in the Crown whiskey, peach schnapps, cranberry juice and rum.
2 — Shake well for 1 minute or until the outside of the shaker frosts up.
3 — Pour the mixed ingredients into a shot glass.
4 — Pour the Red Bull into a separate tall glass.
5 — Drop the shot inside the tall glass and quickly chug it down.
5 — Drop the shot inside the tall glass and chug it down! Drink it all at once as you would with a Jagger Bomb Shot.
Notes and Tips
— It gets messy, but is a very entertaining cocktail to have at a party. To ensure safety (after all, it is glass clashing glass), choose sturdy glasses and do not drop the shot from a very long distance. Dropping it from the brim of the glass is more than enough to create the iconic splash and bubbles.
— This Vegas Bomb recipe is very sweet and fruity and can be drunk easily. But do not forget it’s quite potent!
