Trash Can

20120414:
This mixed drink has the same goal as the AMF: getting you drunk quickly. Like with the AMF, I was definitely willing to try it.


I didn't remember to get the exact recipe from the bartender, but the drink is a combination of liqueurs, ice, and a can of Red Bull flipped upside-down that sits on top of the drink.

There's a possibility that you can drink casually without fear of the Red Bull endlessly flowing out into the glass. This certainly depends on the size of the glass you use and the physics involved dealing with liquids and pressure. Of course, whether or not the Red Bull will actually flow out and spill over, it's a lot more fun to drink as if it will!

From this experience, I'd suggest letting some Red Bull flow down and hit the bottom, just for a more well-rounded taste; getting an early start will just result in drinking nothing but Red Bull at the end.

Search results show that this drink is also called an Irish Trash Can, because the drink turns green upon adding the Red Bull.

The following recipe seems popular:
.5 oz Blue Curaçao
.5 oz Gin
.5 oz Light Rum
.5 oz Peach Schnapps
.5 oz Triple Sec
.5 oz Vodka
1 can Red Bull
