Like all “bomb” cocktails, this drink is served as a single shot that is dropped into a larger glass filled with another drink. After you drop the shot, the whole thing is chugged – and the party begins!

Whenever I’m hosting a party, I offer some fun drinks including Lemon Drop Shot, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot, and this Vegas Bomb cocktail that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

What is a Vegas Bomb Drink?

A Vegas Bomb cocktail is made by dropping a Royal Flush Shot into a glass of Red Bull energy drink. A Royal Flush shot is a fruity mix of Crown Royal Whisky, Peach Schnapps and Cranberry juice. The Royal Flush is a popular drink at poker tables and casinos in Las Vegas, so it’s no surprise that it’s an essential ingredient for a Vegas Bomb.

Vegas Bomb Ingredients & Substitutes

Vegas Bomb ingredients on the counter.
  • Crown Royal Whisky: It’s a blended Canadian whiskey first introduced in 1939. This whiskey is full-bodied and smooth with hints of oak and vanilla. You can also sub another Whisky.
  • Peach Schnapps: It’s a deliciously fruity clear liqueur made from peaches. Packed with fragrant peach flavor, it’s a popular ingredient in may cocktails. You can also use Butterscotch Schnapps.
  • Cranberry Juice: It’s a popular chaser that goes well with most liquors, adding a nice pink color to the drink.
  • Red Bull: Arguably the world’s most popular energy drink, Red Bull has been known to give Vegas partygoers the energy they need to dance all night. You can sub other energy drink for this recipe.

Vegas Bomb vs Johnny Vegas Shot

Don’t confuse the Vegas Bomb with a Johnny Vegas Shot. The latter is a potent shot made from ingredients like gold tequila and watermelon schnapps. Another key difference is that the Vegas Bomb is made by dunking a shot into a larger glass of Red Bull, while the Johnny Vegas is a shot taken straight to the head.

What Does a Vegas Bomb Cocktail Taste Like?

This Vegas Bomb has a very nice flavor that’s sweet, slightly tangy and refreshing. You can taste the whiskey with fruity untertones of peach and the familiar flavor of Red Bull.

Can I Make a Vegas Bomb Drink Without Butterscotch?

Yes, this Vegas Bomb recipe calls for Peach Schnapps, although some other versions are made with Butterscotch Schnapps. It really depends on the flavor you’re looking for and what you can source at your local liquor store. Either peach or butterscotch is fine for this cocktail.

What are the Other Energy Drinks I Can Use Besides Red Bull?

We like using Red Bull, but you can definitely substitute for another energy drink if you prefer. Vegas Bomb Cocktails can be made using Monster, Rock Star or another energy drink of your preference.
