Come, let’s show you how to make Vegas bomb shot at home!
What Is Vegas Bomb Shot?
The Vegas Bomb shot is a combination of the Royal Flush Shot (Crown Royal Whiskey, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice) into a glass of Red Bull.
The Royal Flush is a popular drink in Vegas, which is commonly seen in the hands of poker players and partiers on the strip of Vegas.
A bomb shot is an alcoholic concoction or cocktail that is dropped into another glass of energy drink like Red Bull or some beer. Some other popular bomb shots that you may know are Jager bombs or an Irish Car Bomb.
There are 4 main ingredients that you’ll need to make the Vegas Bomb Shot – Crown Royal whiskey, cranberry juice, peach schnapps, and Red Bull.
What Substitute Ingredients Can I Use To Make Vegas Bomb Shot?
1. Crown Royal Whiskey Substitutes: If you don’t have any of this blended Canadian whiskey then you can use whatever whiskey you have lying around in your drinks cupboard at home.
2. Peach Schnapps Substitutes: This delicious fruity liqueur takes away the strong kick that you get from the whiskey but if you don’t like peach you can always use butterscotch schnapps instead.
If you don’t mind missing out on a bit more alcohol then you can try using peach juice or peach soda instead to make the strength of the whiskey more subtle.
3. Red Bull Substitutes: Red Bull is one of the most common energy drinks you’ll find in a club anywhere, but especially in Vegas so it’s the one that we also like to use the most in these sorts of shots.
You can choose to use other types of energy drinks like Monster or Rockstar, however, make sure to use the standard or plain flavored ones as any other flavors could alter the taste of this Vegas Bomb Shot.
4. Cranberry Juice Substitutes: Cranberry juice is a popular choice to go with most alcoholic drinks and creates a rich red color.
If you don’t regularly buy cranberry juice then you can use any other type of fruit juice, particularly dark rich ones like grape juice, raspberry juice, or blueberry juice to create the same flavor.

Our Best Tips
To avoid excessive spillages and staining any carpets in your home, it’s best to make these Vegas bomb shots somewhere in your home with hardwood flooring where it can be easily cleaned up or outside where you don’t mind the mess being made. Making and doing the shots outside will prevent any of your guests from slipping on any spillages that were created in the process of making or taking the shots.
When dropping your shot glass into the larger glass, don’t drop it from too high up or too hard as the shot glass could smash. Dropping the shot glass from too high could also result in you missing the large glass completely and smashing the shot glass everywhere.
Vegas Bomb Drink
The beauty of this shot recipe is that you don’t have to drink it one go like a shot if you don’t want to and you can turn it into a cocktail that you can sip on throughout the night instead.
You can use the same quantity of alcohol ingredients as above but just add more Red Bull in to fill the glass up afterward.
In a mixing glass or a cocktail shaker, add in a handful of ice and then add in your whiskey, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice quantities.
Then cover the glass or shaker and shake well for 10 seconds
Strain into a large glass (or you can serve with ice if you want it more chilled) and then pour in your Red Bull to taste
This method can also be done for Virgin Vegas Bomb shots so your t-total guests can still enjoy the night without being questioned about why they’re not drinking.
