The Vegas Bomb cocktail is like a party in a glass! It’s made by dropping a shot into a glass of Red Bull. This mix of Crown Royal, peach schnapps, Malibu, cranberry juice, and Red Bull tastes amazing and excites your gathering.
When you’re ready to drink it, drop the shot carefully into the Red Bull and enjoy the burst of flavor. You can try different versions until you find your favourite. It’s also easy to make for a bunch of friends—mix up the ingredients and pour them into shot glasses.
While it’s best to make the Vegas Bomb fresh, you can mix up the shot part ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for a few days. So, get ready to enjoy this fun and tasty cocktail!
Vegas Bomb Shot Recipe
Equipment
- Shot glass
- small measuring cup
Ingredients
- ½ ounce Crown Royal whiskey
- ½ ounce Cranberry juice I used a blend
- ¼ ounce Peach schnapps
- 8 ounces Energy drink I used Steaz Energy Zero Super Fruit
Instructions
- Pour the Crown Royal into a small shot glass.
- In a tall glass, mix the cranberry juice, peach schnapps, and energy drink. You might not need to use all of the energy drinks.
- Hold the shot glass just above the tall glass and drop it in. It will fizz a bit. Drink right away!
Notes
- If you don’t want to drop the shot glass in, just mix everything together in the tall glass.
- You can use Red Bull or any other energy drink you like.
- For a colder drink, shake the shot ingredients with ice before pouring them into the shot glass and dropping them in the energy drink.
- Adjust the amount of liquor to suit your taste.

Is There a Non-Alcoholic Version of the Vegas Bomb Shot?
Yes! If you don’t want alcohol, you can use peach juice instead of whisky and peach schnapps. Mix it with cranberry juice and an energy drink for a similar taste without alcohol.
Can the Vegas Bomb Shot be Prepared in Advance?
It’s better to make the Vegas Bomb shot before you drink it. This keeps the energy drink bubbly and the flavours fresh. If you mix it too early, it might taste flat.
Is the Vegas Bomb Shot Safe to Drink?
Generally, yes, but be careful. The mix of alcohol and energy drinks can make you feel less drunk than you are, which can be dangerous. Remember your limits and drink water between drinks.
Are There Any Variations of the Vegas Bomb Shot?
Yes, you can mix it up! Try a Cherry Vegas Bomb with cherry liqueur instead of cranberry juice, or a Tropical Vegas Bomb with pineapple juice. You can also add a bit of cranberry juice directly into the energy drink for a different flavor.
