Red Bull Summer Deition

Red Bull's Summer Edition is a seasonal, limited-run energy drink, sold in this category as a mixer. The listing gives no flavor, can size or ABV, so check the can for the exact flavor. Seasonal Red Bull releases usually pair the brand's sweet, tangy, lightly carbonated base with a fruit-forward flavor. Expect a bright, juicy profile with a clean, quick finish rather than a dry or bitter one. Serve it well chilled, straight from the fridge or poured over plenty of ice. Carbonation fades quickly in a warm or half-empty glass, so open the can just before pouring. Because the base is already sweet, it works best with clean, neutral spirits that won't fight it. Vodka is the usual partner, at roughly one part spirit to two or three parts Red Bull. Light rum and blanco tequila also work if you want a slightly drier or more vegetal backbone. A squeeze of lime or lemon balances the sweetness and keeps a longer drink from tasting flat. Use a tall highball or Collins glass filled with ice, so the drink stays cold and fizzy to the last sip. For food, salty, crunchy snacks such as chips, pretzels or roasted nuts cut through the sugar. Grilled chicken, tacos or spicy street food also hold up against it.
