Skittle bomb

The Skittle bomb, also known in France as "rétreau" (pronounced "rétro"), is an alcoholic bomb shot cocktail that gets its name from its Skittles confectionery taste. The method of preparation is similar to that of the Jägerbomb. It consists of a shot glass of Cointreau, an orange liqueur dropped into a glass containing energy drink (usually Red Bull).[1]
