I had totally forgotten about this drink until yesterday afternoon, when my cousin mentioned that he was watching the Back to the Future trilogy. Since then, this shooter has been on my mind, and Huey Lewis and the News songs have been stuck in my head for the past 24 hours. Maybe I’ll drink some of the former until I forget about the latter.

1.21 Gigawatts

- Recipe:

0.5 oz Hypnotiq
0.5 oz raspberry vodka
3 drops grenadine syrup
1/2 can Red Bull® energy drink

This is a “bomb” drink, which means it’s a shot that’s dropped into a pint glass, then chugged. For the shot: pour the Hypnotiq in the shot glass, then the raspberry vodka, then the drops of grenadine. The drink should be layered; in fact, you may notice it comes out red, white and blue. For the glass: pour half a can of Red Bull into the pint glass.

Drop the shot glass into the pint glass, then chug.
