This allows you to personalize your cocktail by adding a base spirit such as vodka or rum and some fruit juice, e.g., cranberry or orange. It can be the epitome of a sweet cider, dance with all things lime or minty and soar into parties & celebrations.

- Serve and Enjoy: It’s time to reap the benefits of your delicate mix that balances sweet and sour with a healthy dose of energy.

FAQs

The non-carbonated parts can be massed ahead and refrigerate. Red Bull and garnish directly before serving, to maintain the bright fizz.
What can I use to make a non-alcoholic version?
You can swap the vodka with tonic or non alcoholic spirit, and then add more apple juice or another type of fruit.
How do I change the taste from sweet to unsweetened?
To bump up the sweetness, add some honey or agave syrup (just be careful not to overdose on sugar), and adjust to taste before incorporating Red Bull so that you can have full control of how your shots will taste.
Is there such a thing as under-caffeinated?
Substitute: Go for one of the caffeine-free energy drinks or flavored sparkling waters if you’re seeking a lighter version that shares the same fruity flavors as Red Bull.
What do I use for garnish if I have no mint on hand?
So if you don’t have fresh mint, try garnishing your mojito with a sprig of basil or rosemary for an herbal twist to the traditional cocktail. Or sub in a lime wedge forward slash cherry instead.
