Irish Trash Can Recipe
Description
The Irish Trash Can cocktail combines a variety of clear and fruit-flavored spirits including gin, light rum, vodka, peach schnapps, blue curaçao, and triple sec. These are stirred together over ice in a tall Collins glass. The distinctive feature is the addition of a full can of energy drink inverted into the glass, which gradually empties and sinks, tinting the cocktail green as it mixes.
This method offers a cold, fizzy drink with complex citrus and peach flavors complemented by the energy drink's sweet and effervescent characteristics. The layered pouring and sinking can add visual interest during serving.
The drink is typically served in a large Collins glass filled with ice. It is intended as a high-energy, visually engaging cocktail appropriate for social gatherings where presentation enhances the experience.
Ingredients
- ½ ounce gin
- ½ ounce rum light
- ½ ounce vodka
- ½ ounce Peach Schnapps
- ½ ounce blue cura ao
- ½ ounce triple sec
- 5 ounces energy drink Red Bull brand
Instructions
- Fill a large Collins glass (or tall, slender glass with a 12 oz capacity) with ice. Add all the liquors, and stir thoroughly.
- Last open and drop in a full can of Red Bull upside-down. The can will float at first, then as the energy drink empties, it will slowly sink, turning your drink green as it does.
