Red Bull Cocktail FAQ’s

Q: Can I use any energy drink?
Yes! While Red Bull is a popular choice and its taste profile for the recipes in this blog has been tried and tested by experts, you can try these recipes with other non-alcoholic energy drink with similar carbonation and citrus notes.

Q: Does Red Bull go with Gin?
Yes, definitely. Our Sea Arch Coastal Juniper 0.0% distilled spirit is a non-alcoholic alternative to gin, with a similar taste profile. It is used in two of our Red Bull cocktail recipes in this blog!

Q: What is the best way to drink Red Bull?
The best way to drink Red Bull is chilled, right after pouring it out of the can. Add extra ice to cool it down if it has stood outside for some time or if you did not have time to refrigerate it.

Q: What is good to mix with Red Bull?
The best pairings with Red Bull are drinks with light, fresh, yet sharp flavour profiles. The tasting notes of non-alcoholic spirits pair really well with Red Bull, while strawberries, lemon, mint, or basil as garnishes work exceptionally.

Q: Are these drinks suitable for kids or pregnant women?
According to The Columbia University Irving Medical Center, it is not recommended for kids under the age of 17 to consume over 100mg of caffeine per day. For pregnant women, the American Pregnancy Association recommends less than 200mg per day. Always check the caffeine content before serving. For a caffeine-free alternative, try sparkling water and natural fruit syrups.

Q: Can I batch these drinks for parties?
Although, it is recommended to serve them as single drinks to maintain the flavour profile, you can serve them in batches. Just multiply the ingredients and add the energy drink right before serving.
