This is my second or third drink that uses Red Bull, and so far, my favorite is the Red Bull Sunrise. I’ve used Red Bull in other drinks too, but this Tic Tac Shot is another great mix. It’s quick to make and has a delicious taste.

The Tic Tac Shot has a strong orange flavor because of the orange vodka and Triple Sec. If you don’t have orange vodka, you can use regular vodka, but the orange taste won’t be as strong and refreshing.

For the Red Bull, you can pick any flavor you like. I used the regular one because it doesn’t change the flavor too much, letting the orange taste stand out. But if you have a favorite energy drink, feel free to try it—it’s up to you!

What Is A Tic Tac Shot?

A Tic Tac Shot is a quick and fun drink that gets its name because it tastes similar to the orange Tic Tac candy. It’s a popular choice for people who enjoy sweet and fruity drinks with a bit of a kick. This shot is made by mixing a few ingredients that create a strong orange flavor, making it taste refreshing and a little tangy.

The main ingredients are orange vodka, Triple Sec (an orange-flavored liqueur), and Red Bull energy drink. You can use regular vodka if you don’t have orange vodka, but using the orange-flavored one makes the drink taste more like the candy. Red Bull adds some energy to the mix and helps balance the sweetness with a little bit of fizz. Most people use the regular Red Bull flavor to keep the drink from being too sweet, but you can try other flavors if you like.

The Tic Tac Shot is perfect for parties or when you want something fast and easy to make. It’s usually served in a shot glass, so you can drink it in one quick sip. Because it’s both sweet and strong, it’s a crowd-pleaser and is great for those who enjoy fruity cocktails or energy drink-based drinks.

Pro Tips

Keep the vodka, Triple Sec, and Red Bull cold for a smoother shot. You can even chill your shot glasses in the freezer for an extra frosty experience.
If you prefer a sweeter shot, use a flavored Red Bull, like Tropical or Watermelon. For less sweetness, stick to regular Red Bull or even sugar-free.
For a slightly diluted version, shake the ingredients with ice before serving. This can make the shot less intense and more refreshing.
