Ingredients

1 oz Blue Curaçao
This sweet, citrus-flavored liqueur gives the drink its iconic blue hue and zesty flavor.
1 oz Vodka
Use a good-quality vodka for a clean and neutral alcoholic base.
1 oz Energy Drink (such as Red Bull)
This provides the caffeine kick and carbonation, adding both energy and fizz.
Ice Cubes (for chilling if preferred)
Optional if you want to chill the liquor before serving.
Lemon Wedge (for garnish, optional)
Adds an aromatic zing and a visually appealing twist.

Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Ingredients

Start by chilling the Blue Curaçao, vodka, and energy drink in the fridge or over ice to enhance the drinking experience. Cold liquids mellow the intensity and make the shot smoother.

Step 2: Set Up the Shot and Bomb Glass

Take a shot glass and pour in 1 oz of vodka and 1 oz of Blue Curaçao. Stir gently to mix the two blue elements into one electric-hued shot.

Next, fill a short tumbler or rocks glass with about 1 oz of energy drink. You can add more if you’d like a longer drink or more fizz.

Step 3: Bombs Away!

Drop the shot glass straight into the tumbler of energy drink—or serve it alongside with instructions for the guest to do the honors. The fizzing splash creates a dramatic effect and instantly mixes the ingredients.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Optional but fun: Add a small lemon wedge to the side of the tumbler for a citrus scent and a color contrast. Serve immediately and enjoy the thunder!

Notes

The Blue Thunder Bomb is designed to be bold, fast, and fun. It’s not a sipping cocktail—it’s a shot meant to be enjoyed quickly, offering a burst of flavor and energy. It’s great for moments of celebration, party games, or introducing a fun new round at your bar. The layering and dropping ritual adds excitement, and the flavors are crowd-friendly and not too harsh.
