How to Make a Vegas Bomb Shot
Check out how fun it is to make this quick and fun drink.
Pour Red Bull and ½ ounce of peach schnapps into a pint glass.
Carefully drop your shot glass of Crown Royal, then chug the whole thing quickly.
Hint: A cold drink tastes smoother and more refreshing, try adding your shots to a cocktail shaker then to the shot glass before dropping.
Recipe Tips
- Dropped: This shot is a drop style, the fizz adds excitement but loses effect if left too long, so it is typically chugged quickly.
- Glass: A larger glass is preferred, we use a 16-ounce tall pint glass.
- Use a Sturdy Glass: Prevents accidental spills when dropping the shot.
- Pour Carefully: Avoid overfilling to prevent mess. If you use a smaller glass, adjust accordingly.
Another widely popular one is our Fireball Shot, which offers a nice bite of heat.

Vegas Bomb Shot Recipe FAQs
No, you can mix and sip if preferred.
Crown Royal is traditional, but any smooth Canadian whisky works well without being overpowering.
It's moderately strong. The sweetness makes it easy to drink, but it still contains a full shot of liquor, so pace yourself and drink responsibly.
