For parties, prepare individual portions of the energy drink in glasses and have chilled shots of the herbal liqueur ready to drop in just before serving to guests.
Can I make a large batch of this drink in advance?+

A common and balanced ratio is one 1.5-ounce shot of herbal liqueur to about 6-8 ounces of energy drink, depending on your preference for strength and sweetness.
How can I make this drink less intense?+
To make it less intense, you can use a smaller shot of herbal liqueur or a larger amount of energy drink to dilute the flavor and potency.
