What is Vegas Bomb?
The Vegas Bomb is a popular cocktail drink that’s often served in bars and enjoyed by many. It’s made by dropping a shot glass filled with a mix of whiskey, typically Crown Royal, and peach liqueur, usually Peach Schnapps, into a glass of energy drink, like Red Bull. The shot glass is “bombed” into the energy drink, creating a fizzy and flavorful mix. Some variations may include different types of whiskey or liqueur, but the basic concept remains the same. The drink is known for its sweet and fruity taste, with a kick of caffeine from the energy drink. It’s named after Las Vegas due to its association with the city’s lively and vibrant nightlife scene.
Overview: How to make Vegas Bomb Recipe?
To make a Vegas Bomb, you’ll need a few ingredients and some basic bar tools. Start by gathering Crown Royal whiskey, Peach Schnapps liqueur, a can of energy drink (like Red Bull), and some ice. First, fill a shot glass about halfway with Crown Royal whiskey. Next, pour Peach Schnapps on top of the whiskey until the shot glass is nearly full.
Now, fill a separate glass with the energy drink and add some ice cubes if you like. With one hand, hold the shot glass filled with whiskey and Peach Schnapps above the glass of energy drink. With your other hand, tap the shot glass gently on the rim of the glass containing the energy drink. The shot glass should drop into the energy drink, creating a “bomb” effect. Once the shot glass is submerged, quickly drink the mixture before it starts to fizz too much. The result is a sweet and flavorful cocktail with a boost of caffeine from the energy drink. Enjoy responsibly and be mindful of the caffeine content.
