This turbo-charged slushy is a perfect way to chill out and get your wings.
I kept it low calorie by going sugar-free and sans whip cream. But like your favorite espresso, the baristas will serve the slush anyway you want it. Presto! A personalized Red Bull at a price almost comparable to buying a single can.
I like the sweet cherry-flavored syrup. Blended with the tang of Red Bull, it delivers an icy kick of caffeine that doesn't taste like coffee or an energy drink. Go ahead -- get fruity. Watermelon, grape and strawberry are other popular flavors. Find your fav and fuel up for the long summer days ahead. Pick up a punch card and get your 11th drink free.
