🍴Cherry Bomb Ingredients 

Wondering what is in a cherry bomb shot? Turns out, not much. As promised, you only need a handful of ingredients to make this easy cherry bomb shots recipe. Here’s what to grab:

• Cherry Vodka - Bursting with fruity sweetness, it's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. Imagine Joan shredding her guitar, but instead of riffs, you get a symphony of cherry goodness. 
• Grenadine - Technically speaking, grenadine is made from pomegranates instead of cherries. The sweet-tart flavor and ruby red color are totally welcome in these cherry shots, though! It’s the real power chord to this rock anthem. Feel free to swap in cherry-flavored simple syrup instead.
• Red Bull Energy Drink - For a zesty kick and a surge of energy that'll keep the party going all night long. It's like having your own personal roadie, making sure you never miss a beat.
• Cherries - This optional garnish gives you the added benefit of making it look like an upscale cocktail!

⏲️ Substitutions & Variations

There are plenty of ways and fun variations for you to customize these cherry shots with Red Bull. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Go Sugar-Free - We all know Red Bull gives you wings, but it also packs a big sugary punch. To keep the added sugar in check, swap in sugar-free Red Bull and make your own cherry vodka. (Use this strawberry vodka recipe as a template, swapping in cherries for berries.) You can also use no-sugar-added cherry juice in place of the grenadine to keep things on the up and up.
• Add some fresh lime juice, orange juice or lemon juice to up the acidity and a splash of club soda for some bubbles!
• Make a Cherry Bakewell Shot - Skip the Red Bull and swap in a shot of amaretto for an extra kick of delectable cherry-almond drink that tastes like the British baking favorite.
• Rock Out Without The Booze - Use your favorite NA vodka (preferably infused with cherry goodness) to party like a rock star without the hangover.

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert Tips

• Since there’s no shaker involved, make sure all of your ingredients are well-chilled before starting. These cherry shooters are decidedly less delicious when they’re not icy cold.
• Leave some room in the glass that you pour the Red Bull into. Remember, you still need to drop in the cherry bomb!
• Proceed with caution. These Red Bull vodka shots might make you feel like you’re on cloud 9, but you’ve been warned: these high-octane drinks can also inadvertently get you to imbibe more than you normally would.
• Use whatever you prefer for your garnish, but fresh cherries are superior to maraschino cherries. There. I said it.
