Main
  • 4 ounces Red Bull energy drink half an 8.4-ounce can

  • 0.5 ounce flavored syrup 1 tablespoon, such as vanilla, raspberry, cherry, or peach
  • 2 ounces sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice as needed

  • Fresh berries for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wheel for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Measuring cup
  • Bar spoon or long stirring spoon
  • Cocktail shaker (optional)

Method
 

  1. Fill a tall 10 to 12-ounce glass with ice.
  2. Pour 0.5 ounce (1 tablespoon) of flavored syrup over the ice.
  3. Slowly pour 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon to float it on top of the syrup.
  4. Carefully pour 4 ounces of chilled Red Bull energy drink into the glass, allowing it to cascade through the layers.
  5. Top the drink with 2 ounces of sparkling water or club soda.
  6. Gently stir the drink for about 10 to 15 seconds, starting from the bottom and working upward to combine without losing carbonation.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or strength by adding more syrup or Red Bull as desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh berries, a lemon wheel, or a mint sprig, and serve immediately.

Notes

Chill your glass and ingredients beforehand, customize the syrup to your taste, and serve immediately for the best carbonation and flavor.
