Simple Steps to Create an Irish Trash Can Cocktail at Home
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Glass: Start by filling a tall glass, like a pint glass, with ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Add the Spirits: Pour vodka, rum, gin, Blue Curaçao, peach schnapps, and triple sec over the ice, layering each ingredient.
- Top with Energy Drink: Open a can of energy drink (usually Red Bull) and place it upside down into the glass. This setup allows the drink to gradually mix and create the signature color shift.
- Enjoy the Visual Effect: Watch as the drink’s colors blend, giving it a striking blue-green hue that’s sure to impress.
Tips for Success:
- Glass Choice: A tall glass works best, as it leaves room for the ice, spirits, and energy drink can.
- Pacing: Given the high alcohol content and caffeine, it’s best to sip slowly.
