The Skittle bomb, also known in France as "rétreau" (pronounced "rétro"), is an alcoholic bomb shot cocktail that gets its name from its Skittles confectionery taste. In south-east Asia, mainly Singapore, the Skittle bomb is also known as C-bomb, where the C stands for Cointreau.[citation needed]
The method of preparation is similar to that of the Jägerbomb. It consists of a shot glass of Cointreau, an orange liqueur, dropped into a glass containing an energy drink, usually Red Bull.[1][2]
