If you go to Vegas, you’re responsible for what happens. When you’re ready to take your Vegas Bomb shot recipe, you will know how to make the perfect drink.
This cocktail contains Red Bull, Crown Royal, as well as traditional ingredients. Throwing the dice, or being caught gambling all night will make you feel like you’re in the right place to pull all-nighters in Vegas.
The shot dubbed the “best shot ever made,” is the ideal party drink. It is a unique bomb drink that can knock you out in just a few shots.
This cocktail is made with Crown Royal whiskey, peach Schnapps liqueur, Malibu, cranberry juice, and the energy drink Red Bull, and is not to be confused with the vodka-Red Bull combination, Vod-Bomb or DVR.
With a 28 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), the Vegas bomb cocktail has made a name for itself in the United States and other countries such as Canada, Ireland, South Korea, and Mexico.
The name of this drink comes from the fact that it was designed to be poured into a glass of Red Bull. I first tried it in Las Vegas, and the bartender taught me how to make it. Now I’d like to share the recipe with you so you can make this fantastic beverage at home. What about we take a look at how you can make this drink at home?
History Of Vegas Bomb Cocktail
No one may realize this, but the drink’s name is vaguely derived from a bit of Vegas history. In the 1950s, Las Vegas was the epicenter of nuclear-weapons experimentation. And now, there are no bombings, of course, but if you take this mega cocktail, you will feel what it might have been like.

Variations & Tips
The Vegas Bomb shot can be made in three different ways, each one getting a little easier (or lazier) to make. The one described in this article is the most important and difficult to make. The cranberry juice is simply removed in the next version. The simplest version is to leave out the Malibu and replace it with Crown Royal and Schnapps.
Other variations include using a different Canadian whisky, or any whisky for that matter, instead of Crown Royal.
Another popular option is to substitute another schnapps for the peach schnapps, either one you have on hand or one you prefer.
