This is delicious because Red Bull is delicious. I added the recommended amount of strawberries and it still tasted like a slushy Red Bull. I added more strawberries, same result. Like I said, it was yummy, but I’m giving it 3 stars because I was expecting more of a strawberry punch and it just didn’t happy. I feel the Red Bull is too overpowering for strawberries, in any ratio.

Wonderful! Although, when the blending was difficult and I added some water, it didn’t really taste that good in the end. Besides that, it was great! Definitely will be making it again!
Jody Roberson
I really liked this, although I did reduce the amount of strawberries a bit. Very good!

This is so tasty and really easy. For brunch, I add vodka and serve in place of bloody marys. My guests love them.

This also can be made with 1 [8.3 oz] can of XS Energy Drink. No sugar or carbs in this one and it taste great. Better than Red Bull!!!!
Douglas Smith
Very good!

I love to make these in the mornings! I use sugar free Rockstar instead of Red Bull and I add a bit of non fat strawberry yogurt to make it less tart. Yummy!

Refreshing as is or great base for a stronger drink. I used a small can of Sugar Free Red Bull and added 2 packs of Splenda and about 5 large frozen Strawberries. If I wanted alcohol some rum or vodka would be nice in this. If you want to add more liquid try a non-alcoholic strawberry daquiri mix. Also the taste will greatly vary depending on which energy drink you use, but if you use your favorite you shouldn’t be dissappointed. I will make this before many big party nights!

Absolutely simple to make and tasty! I do think that the amount of strawberries need to be reduced, or a larger can of red bull should be used, but I wouldn’t dilute it with water as suggested. This recipe could be a great starter base. Thanks for the share.
Charles Gregory
I used Full Throttle instead of Red Bull. Very good.
Jessica Obrien
This is great. A very interesting blend of two exciting flavors. Will make again!

Great idea! I’m drinking this as a pre-drink. Great for a long party night. I used fresh strawberries instead of frozen. I think this one would work with almost any fruit. I may try this one with added vodka sometime too.
