If you're looking for the best Silverback recipe, you can find it right here along with just about any other Mixed Drink Recipe from Crystal Mixer.From what's in a Silverback to its recommended drinkware, and exactly how to mix & how to make the Silverback drink, whether you're a bartender, mixologist, or just having DIY fun at your home, CrystalMixer has just about every drink and variation you need. This recipe version is made with these ingredients: Hpnotiq® liqueur, Red Bull® energy drink, Bacardi® 151 rum. Some of the best shots from the classics to the newest are the Flaming Lamborghini Shot, Red, White and Blue Shot, Jello Shots, and the B-52 Shot. Also noteworthy to keep in mind, even though a drink can be made in any proportion, if your shot totals more than an ounce, people tend to have problems shooting it. So try to keep the Silverback below 1 oz! We call this the Shooter Rule! It's one of those unwritten rules.

With all of today's fancy technology, we simplify the bartender's guide. We have all the delicious Shots & Shooters you can possibly create. If you have a list of ingredients you have available, or want your drink to include, don't forget our Drink Builder to help find matching recipes.

Silverback Recipe Information


This drink was invented by Paul Guirao (Milpitas, CA) and Quincy Victoria (Sunnyvale, CA). It was inspired by the simple fact that we wanted a drink that was creative, attracted crowd attention, and still was as strong "as a Silverback".
