Notes

The Story Behind the Shot The Johnny Vegas Shot is a modern party classic with a name that's as cool as the drink itself. Its origins are tied to the high-energy club scene, where bartenders created a drink that was easy to make, delicious, and gave a buzz of both alcohol and caffeine. It became a fan favorite and a staple of parties and celebrations.

  • Make It a Cocktail: For a full-sized drink, simply double the recipe, serve over ice in a tall glass, and top with more energy drink.
