Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ oz vodka
  • ½ oz gin
  • ½ oz light rum
  • ½ oz blue curaçao
  • ½ oz peach schnapps
  • ½ oz triple sec Ice cubes
  • 1 can Red Bull or similar energy drink

Equipment

  • Tall pint glass or hurricane glass 
  • Cocktail jigger or measuring tool 
  • Bar spoon or long spoon 
  • Ice scoop (optional)
  • Can opener tab (for opening the Red Bull can) 
  • Cocktail straw (optional)

Method
 

  1. Fill a tall pint glass or hurricane glass with ice.
  2. Pour in the vodka, gin, rum, blue curaçao, peach schnapps, and triple sec.
  3. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
  4. Slowly pour a small amount of Red Bull into the glass.
  5. For the classic presentation, place the opened Red Bull can upside down or tilted into the glass so the drink slowly mixes as you sip.
  6. Alternatively, pour the entire can into the cocktail.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.

Notes

A full glass of ice keeps the cocktail cold and properly balanced. Too little ice can make the drink taste overly strong.
