    What is a skittle bomb?

    A Skittle bomb is simply Cointreau or triple sec and a shot glass dropped into a highball glass filled with red bull. It is taken and made just like other bomb shots such as Cherry bomb, cactus cooler or vegas bomb.

    The Skittles bomb got its name because it has a similar flavor to the popular candy called skittles.

    The Cointreau or triple Sec is an orange flavored liqueur and when mixed with the fruity tart flavor of Red Bull it gives you a sweet Skittle flavor.

    • Shot glasses
    • jigger
