Equipment

  • Shot Glass
  • Tumbler highball glass or pint glass

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Cherry Liqueur or cherry vodka
  • 1 ounce Grenadine
  • 4 ounce Red Bull

Instructions

  • Layered Method: Prepare the shot with cherry liqueur and Grenadine, and then top it off with Red Bull. This method keeps the ingredients separate, creating a visually appealing layered effect.
  • Bomb Shot Method: Mix cherry liqueur and Grenadine Syrup in a shot glass and drop it into another glass filled halfway with Red Bull. This method combines the flavors when consumed, creating a dynamic and flavorful experience.

Notes

  • Chill the ingredients. For a crisper and more refreshing shot, chill the cherry liqueur and grenadine in advance, or even consider using ice-cold Red Bull.
  • Serve immediately. Whether layered or in bomb form, Cherry Bomb Shots are best enjoyed immediately after preparation to capture the vibrant flavors and effervescence.
  • What glassware to use? The ideal glassware for crafting a Cherry Bomb Shot consists of two main types: a shot glass and a highball glass or tumbler. The shot glass is where you prepare the Cherry Bomb Shot's ingredients, while the highball glass or tumbler is where the excitement unfolds. Drop the shot glass, filled with the cocktail components, into the larger glass, partially filled with Red Bull or your preferred energy drink, for the dramatic "bomb" effect. This setup not only adds visual flair but also enhances the overall drinking experience. Ensure a comfortable fit between the shot glass and the larger glass to avoid any mishaps when executing the shot.
