When it comes to Red Bull cocktails, the famous one is probably Red Bull Vodka. Mixing energy drinks with alcohol is perfectly fine as long as you consume it in moderation. Enjoy Red Bull cocktails, but make sure not to overdo it ((o(´∀｀)o))

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Red Bull Vodka

Recipe: 185ml Red Bull, 40ml Vodka
The classic Red Bull Vodka, a standard in Red Bull cocktails. Feel free to adjust the recipe based on the size of the glass.

I personally prefer a bit more vodka, so I added about 50ml of vodka to a glass filled with plenty of ice, then topped it up with as much Red Bull as it could hold. I made it with a 1:1.5 ratio, using a bit more vodka. The vodka flavor is strong and cuts through the refreshing, sweet-sour flavor of the Red Bull, allowing the high alcohol content of the vodka to shine through.

You can find Red Bull Vodka at some izakayas, but I personally still remember the free-flowing Red Bull Vodka at the Air Race 2016 event I was invited to. The vodka was quite strong Σ(´∀｀；)

Red Bull Vodka is often said to be dangerous, but if consumed in moderation, there's no problem. The Red Bull Vodka I made contains about half the caffeine of a cup of coffee per drink. That being said, it's important to enjoy it responsibly.

Campari Red Bull

Recipe: 150ml Red Bull, 30ml Campari

I’ve always liked the bitter and fruity flavor of Campari, and thought it would pair perfectly with Red Bull's sweet and sour flavor... After trying it, I found the combination to be perfectly delicious and addictive. The not-too-sweet, tangy Red Bull is just right for Campari.

Since Campari is bitter, even using a smaller amount provides a nice, mildly bitter freshness. The sweet-sour and rich flavor of Red Bull, combined with Campari, creates a complex and dynamic taste that makes it impossible to go back to regular Red Bull (*´ｪ`*)

Paraiso Passionfruit

Recipe: 150ml Red Bull Summer Edition Sunny Beam, 30ml Paraiso

This cocktail combines the fruity passionfruit flavor of Red Bull Sunny Beam and the rich lychee aroma and taste of Paraiso. It turned out to be unexpectedly fruity and delicious ((o(´∀｀)o))

The fruity aroma is fantastic. Paraiso adds a rich lychee flavor, while the Sunny Beam passionfruit flavor becomes even more refreshing.
