I wanna make some mixed drinks with Red Bull. I know there are energy drinks in Korea, but is there anything that tastes like Red Bull?

I know what you mean, it's very frustrating. Unfortunately, only bacchus appears to be available. The nearest Red Bull seems to be China...

Are you addicted to Red Bull? I heard that can happen. In a few european countries it's banned because it makes your heart beat faster and a popular drink is redbull/vodka mix. Vodka thins your blood and red bull makes it beat faster so a few people have had heart attacks. Plus the fact that it's a clubbing drink and a load of people take yokes with redbull contributes to the death rate. I don't know if this is true, but an old lady whispered it to me.

Hi
There's definitely something similar - not Bacchus though. It comes in a two-tone colour can. Can't remember the name right now but if you have a look in convenience stores and supermarkets you're bound to see it (we got it from E-Mart). It's almost identical to redbull (maybe it's called energy - but don't quote me on that).

Im not sure about in the States or anywhere else in the world, but in Canada you can buy alcoholic Rockstar drinks, which is just vodka and Rockstar at any liquor store. For those not familiar with rockstar, it is basically identical to redbull but in a bigger can. Taste and ingredients seem almost identical.

Theres a small blue bottle here called 'Sang Sang', which is pretty similar to Red Bull and better than Bacchus in my opinion.

Power Ju

Mix one bottle of Sang Sang, one bottle of Soju and 600ml of Coke Zero.

It HAS to be Coke Zero as well, trust me.

In the States, we have a drink called "Sparks". It comes in a can and looks like a giant battery. Its an energy drink/alcohol concoction.

I want to Red Bull so I can make some drinks. Orange Crushes and Jager Bombs.

I'll take a look at a few convenience stores. And yes, after 7 or 8 jager bombs or Orange Crushes, you are completely hammered but you can't pass out cuz you are so wired. And you feel like complete butt the next day.

Fun to drink though.
