"I know Johnny Vegas as a shot but understand it can be served as a cocktail as well. Like a shot, I will add, to an ice-filled shaker, one part tequila, half part watermelon liquor. Shake, strain into a shot glass and serve with a highball glass filled 1/4 full of Red Bull."

"To make a Johnny Vegas, you need Red Bull, tequila, and watermelon liquor. It's a great summertime cocktail! In an ice-filled glass, I will mix one ounce of tequila and a half ounce watermelon. Stir, and top with Red Bull. This drink can also be served as a shot but be careful - they pack a punch!"

This drink combines tequila, watermelon pucker, and Red Bull. If you've never made it before, look up the recipe! Order one at a bar and see if it tastes the same. There are so many new and unique blends of cocktails these days, so you need to be up to date. Read magazines and blogs to learn about the latest trending cocktails.

"Johnny Vegas drinks are a fun one, but I know that I need to be careful where they are made as some regions to not legally allow the direct mixing of Red Bull into a drink. For a classic Johnny Vegas, you need 1 part tequila, 1/2 part watermelon liquor, top with Red Bull. This can be served in a cocktail glass or shaken and strained into a couple of shot glasses."
