1.21 Gigawatts
Contains Alcohol:  Yes
Style: Shot
Glass Type: Shot Glass
Ingredients: 4

Recipe:
0.5 oz Fruit Cognac
0.5 oz Vodka (Raspberry)
1-3 Grenadine Syrup
1/2 Energy Drink (Red Bull)

Instructions

Though I am not sure as to the origins of this wonderful drink, I have found that it has been overwhelmingly enjoyable by both men and women. The 1.21 Gigawatts' name is derived from the trilogy "Back to the Future" most assumedly because of its high content of caffeine and ensurably great time. This is a fun, fruity and light drink, but more than three or four within a one hour period should be extremely cautioned as it contains Energy Drink (Red Bull), a highly concentrated caffeinated beverage.Layer the Hypnotiq and Stoli Raz into a shot glass. Drop 1 to 3 drops of Grenadine into the center of the shot (the shot should look Red, White and Blue, not all mixed together.) Prepare a normal glass (preferably not a pilsner as pilsners tend to be too small at the base) and fill it with half a can of Energy Drink (Red Bull). The shot glass is to be held inside the glass, at the glass' brim and then dropped entirely into the Redbull. (There should be enough Redbull in the bottom of the glass to submerge a normal 1 oz. shot glass completely.) The enitre drink is to be consumed in one sip (or "chugged").
