A Burst of Citrus and Energy
The Skittle Bomb Shot, also known as the Retreau (pronounced Retro) in France, is a high-energy, flavor-packed party starter. Inspired by the sweet and tangy taste of Skittles candy, this bomb shot is as fun to drink as it is to make. If you love the classic Jäger Bomb, this one’s a must-try. Bold, zesty, and electrifying, the Skittle Bomb delivers a sweet citrus kick with an energizing buzz.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Triple Sec
  • 0.5 can Energy Soda Red Bull
  • Ice optional

Instructions

Prepare the Shot:

  • Pour 1 oz of Triple Sec into a shot glass. Triple Sec provides a sweet and citrusy flavor that forms the base of the Skittle Bomb.

Prepare the Glass:

  • Fill a cocktail glass with 0.5 can of Red Bull (energy soda). The energy soda adds a bubbly, tangy element to the drink, giving it a lively and refreshing taste. Add ice if you prefer it chilled.

Combine and Drink:

  • Drop the shot glass of Triple Sec into the cocktail glass filled with Red Bull. This method is similar to that of a Jager Bomb.
  • Drink immediately to enjoy the full effect of the flavors and energy boost.
