Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 oz vodka preferably premium, chilled
  • 4 oz Red Bull energy drink ice-cold
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Lime wedge for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Highball glass or rocks glass
  • Measuring jigger (1.5 oz and 4 oz measures)
  • Bar spoon
  • Ice cubes or ice maker

Method
 

  1. Chill vodka, Red Bull, and glass in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Fill a highball or rocks glass three-quarters full with ice cubes.
  3. Measure and pour 1.5 oz of cold vodka into the glass over the ice.
  4. Stir the vodka and ice gently for 5 to 10 seconds to chill evenly.
  5. Slowly pour 4 oz of ice-cold Red Bull into the glass to control the fizz.
  6. Give the drink a gentle stir for 3 to 5 seconds to combine flavors while preserving carbonation.
  7. Taste and adjust balance by adding more Red Bull for sweetness or a splash of vodka for strength.
  8. Garnish with a lime wedge, squeeze over the top, and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve immediately while the drink is cold and carbonated. Keep vodka in the freezer and Red Bull in the fridge for best results.
