Cîroc-n-Roll!
The Ingredients:

Vodka with a splash of Red Bull is known by a wide variety of names. However, Cîroc-n-Roll is a cocktail made by mixing vodka and the high-energy drink Red Bull with the tangy twist of cranberry juice. It is becoming increasingly popular in bars and nightclubs in the United States. Cîroc Vodka is incorporated into this beverage because of it's quality. Cîroc is distilled five times versus other manufactured brands of Vodka. Cîroc-n-Roll when ordered in America could run anywhere from 10 to 15 dollars depending on the venue. In some places it is customary to serve an entire can of Red Bull with a single shot of vodka, in other cases, a can may be split between several glasses, each containing several shots of vodka. The Red Bull dominates so that the flavor of the alcohol is not too strong. Vodka Red Bull is inhanced by adding Cranberry juice. Cîroc-n-Roll is also known as a "Vodka Red Bull and Cranberry (VCR)." Cîroc-n-Roll is increasingly popular in nightclubs, as it can provide the energy boost needed to glide on the dance floor. Additionally, it allows the drinker to become intoxicated without getting tired. Red Bull claims that the taurine contained in Red Bull helps in the absorption of alcohol,[citation needed] but there is no evidence of this.

Use caution when mixing Red Bull with alcohol. Red Bull is know as a stimulant, while alcohol is known as a depressant. Mixing the two can be lethal.However,no proconvulsant effects are likely at the normal dosages conferred by several or even numerous drinks. As with any alcoholic drink, the ethanol contained inside Vodka Red Bulls is directly toxic to cardiac myocytes. It was reported in Sweden that two people succumbed after drinking the similar alcoholic beverage, Vodka Red Bull, but the coroner found no direct link between the drink and the deaths.

Wikipedia Article About

Cranberry Juice Cranberry juice, usually sweetened to reduce its natural severe tartness and make "cranberry juice cocktail" or blended with other fruit juices, is a major use of cranberries.

There is some use of cranberry juice by people with spinal paralysis; regular consumption of the juice is supposed to reduce the rate of urinary tract infections. While much of the evidence is equivocal, a number of double-blind clinical trials have been carried out that suggest there actually is an effect: a component of the juice appears to competitively inhibit bacterial attachment to the bladder and urethra.

Red Bull

Product Marketed as an energy drink to combat mental and physical fatigue, it contains, per 250 mL (8.3 U.S. fl. oz.) serving, about 21.5 g sucrose, 5.25 g of glucose, 50 mg of inositol, 1000 mg of taurine, 600 mg of glucuronolactone, vitamin B — 20 mg of niacin, 5 mg of vitamin B6, 5 mg of pantothenic acid and 5 μg of vitamin B12 — and 80 mg of caffeine. The caffeine in one serving is similar to that found in an average cup of brewed coffee (typically 100 mg/250 ml cup, but 72 mg for a U.S. regular 6 fluid ounces cup of coffee) or twice as much as found in a can of Coke (40 mg/330 ml can). A sugar-free version has been available since the beginning of 2003. Sugar-free Red Bull is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium, as opposed to sucrose and glucose.

Red Bull is commonly used as mixer with alcoholic drinks such as vodka and is the base ingredient in the now famous Jägerbomb and Remytini.

Ingredients A can of Red Bull from the United Kingdom states the ingredients as: Water, sucrose, glucose, sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine, glucuronolactone, caffeine, inositol, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, caramel and riboflavin. In comparison, a can of Sugar Free Red Bull from the United Kingdom states the ingredients as: water, acidity regulator sodium citrates, carbon dioxide, taurine, glucuronolactone, sweeteners (acesulfame K, aspartame), caffeine, inositol, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, thickener xanthan gum, colours (caramel, riboflavin).

Taurine is a naturally occurring organic acid in the human body; although, it is also present in foods like poultry, fish, and scallops. In addition to being an antioxidant, it is mainly utilized by the body during physical exertion and in high stress environments[6]. In its natural form, taurine is derived from animal tissue, having been first isolated from bull (Bos taurus) bile, hence the name "Red Bull"; however, the taurine used in the Red Bull drink is produced synthetically. It is also the first energy drink to list glucuronolactone in its ingredient list. Glucuronolactone is a carbohydrate involved in detoxification. The chemical is naturally occurring in the human body, but is also present in foods like grain and wine[6].

Cîroc

Cîroc vodka is a brand of distilled beverage manufactured in France. It is claimed by the drink's promoters that it is distinguished by the fact that it is derived from grapes, in contrast to corn, sorghum, rye, wheat, or potatoes that are more commonly used. In France it can be legally considered vodka, but the same cannot be said about the drink in the US.

The grapes used for Cîroc vodka are "snap frost" grapes; Mauzac Blanc from the Gaillac region of France, and Ugni Blanc from the Cognac region. The juice extracted from these grapes is cold fermented.

Although all vodka is distilled, the manufacturers of Cîroc vodka emphasize that theirs is distilled five times. The first four distillations of the Ugni Blanc take place in stainless steel column stills; the Mauzac Blanc grapes are distilled in copper continuous stills. These are distilled as far as 96.5% and 93.5%, then blended together 95% being Ugni Blanc and 5% Mauzac Blanc. The final distillation is performed in a traditional Armagnac style copper pot still.

Endorsers

Earl Little became one of the first African-Americans to promote the brand in the USA during 2003. The brand was introduced to audiences at various nightclubs and venues throughout the USA with popular urban celebrities in cities such as Atlanta and Miami. In 2007, Sean "Diddy" Combs agreed to become a celebrity endorser for the product, and claims on a commercial that it is the official vodka of New Year's Eve. In December of 2007, the commercial for Cîroc had Sean Combs calling Cîroc the "Official Vodka of New Year's."
