A great highball does not need a long ingredient list. Sometimes the right mixer, plenty of ice and a simple garnish are enough to turn a familiar spirit — or an alcohol-free alternative — into something bright, refreshing and party-ready.
That is where Red Bull mixers for cocktails become interesting. Beyond the Original edition, Red Bull offers fruit-driven flavors that can completely change the personality of a mixed drink. Apricot and strawberry create a juicy summer profile, blueberry brings deeper berry notes, while Red Bull Sugarfree offers the familiar energy-drink character without sugars.
Unlike our Organics by Red Bull mixer guide, this article focuses on Red Bull Energy Drink Editions — Apricot-Strawberry, Blueberry and Sugarfree — with easy highball and zero-proof serving ideas.
For an alcohol-free option, Beefeater 0.0% adds juniper and citrus character that pairs naturally with these flavored mixers.
In this guide, we explore Red Bull Apricot Edition, Red Bull Sugarfree, Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry and Beefeater 0.0%, with easy serving ideas for parties, summer evenings and zero-proof home bars.

Why Use Red Bull as a Cocktail Mixer?
Classic highballs usually rely on a simple formula: a base spirit, a carbonated mixer, ice and garnish.
Flavored Red Bull Editions offer an easy way to change that formula without adding several syrups or juices. Each Edition brings a distinct fruit profile while maintaining the recognizable character of Red Bull.
The official Red Bull Editions guide describes the range as different flavors built around the familiar Red Bull formula.
From a home-bar perspective, that makes the Editions particularly useful when you want:
-
quick party drinks;
-
simple two-ingredient serves;
-
colorful summer highballs;
-
alcohol-free mixed drinks;
-
different flavor options from one basic cocktail format.
The key is pairing each mixer with a base and garnish that support its flavor rather than covering it up.
1. Red Bull Apricot Edition — Best for Fruity Summer Highballs
Red Bull Apricot Edition Apricot-Strawberry is one of the easiest choices when you want a drink that immediately feels summery.
The official Red Bull Apricot Edition page describes the Edition as having the taste of apricot and strawberry.
That combination gives you two useful directions behind the bar: ripe stone-fruit character from apricot and brighter red-fruit sweetness from strawberry.
Red Bull Apricot Edition at MyDrinx comes in convenient 0.25L cans, with six cans per pack.
Easy Serve: Apricot Zero Highball
-
50 ml Beefeater 0.0%
-
100–150 ml Red Bull Apricot Edition
-
Fresh lemon wedge
-
Plenty of ice
Fill a tall glass with ice, add Beefeater 0.0%, top with Red Bull Apricot Edition and finish with fresh lemon.
The citrus-led botanical character of Beefeater 0.0% gives the fruity mixer more structure, while lemon keeps the finish fresh.
Try It With
Orange: reinforces the softer fruit character.
Lemon: adds acidity and freshness.
Fresh strawberry: turns the drink into a more visual summer serve.
Mint: useful for a garden-party or rooftop presentation.
This is a particularly easy option for BBQs, poolside gatherings, summer birthdays and casual weekend parties.
Bring apricot and strawberry into your next highball. Shop Red Bull Apricot Edition Apricot-Strawberry at MyDrinx and keep a fruity summer mixer ready in the fridge.
2. Beefeater 0.0% — The Alcohol-Free Base for Red Bull Highballs
A mixer becomes much more versatile when you have a botanical base to pair with it.
Beefeater 0.0% offers exactly that without alcohol.
According to the official Beefeater website, Beefeater 0.0% is a non-alcoholic drink made with botanicals and natural flavors, with a juniper-forward profile and citrus notes of orange and lemon.
Those characteristics make it especially useful with flavored Red Bull Editions.
Juniper provides the botanical backbone. Citrus helps connect the base to fruit flavors such as apricot, strawberry and blueberry. The result can feel more like a composed zero-proof highball and less like drinking an energy drink on its own.
Beefeater 0.0% + Red Bull Apricot
Use:
-
50 ml Beefeater 0.0%
-
Red Bull Apricot Edition
-
Lemon wheel
-

Beefeater 0.0% + Red Bull Blue Edition
Use:

Beefeater 0.0% + Red Bull Sugarfree
Use:
-
50 ml Beefeater 0.0%
-
Red Bull Sugarfree
-
Orange and lemon

This is the simplest option when you want the botanical base to remain more noticeable.
Beefeater itself recommends a straightforward 0.0 & Tonic using 50 ml Beefeater 0.0%, tonic and citrus garnish. See the official Beefeater 0.0 & Tonic recipe for another easy alcohol-free serving direction.
Build a zero-proof bar that goes beyond tonic. Shop Beefeater Alcohol Free 0.0% at MyDrinx and pair its juniper-and-citrus profile with your favorite Red Bull Edition.
3. Red Bull Sugarfree — Best for a Simple Sugar-Free Mixer
When you want the familiar Red Bull profile without sugars, Red Bull Sugarfree is the obvious place to start.
Red Bull states that Sugarfree offers the benefits of the original energy drink without sugars. Instead of sucrose and glucose, it uses sweeteners including sucralose and acesulfame K.
According to the official Red Bull Sugarfree page, each 250 ml can contains 80 mg of caffeine.
The MyDrinx format contains six 0.25L cans per pack.
For mixing, Sugarfree is useful when you do not want an additional fruit flavor dominating the drink.
Easy Serve: Sugarfree Botanical Highball
-
50 ml Beefeater 0.0%
-
100–150 ml Red Bull Sugarfree
-
Orange wheel
-
Lemon wheel
-
Ice
Fill the glass with ice, add Beefeater 0.0%, top with Red Bull Sugarfree and garnish with citrus.
Beefeater’s juniper and orange-lemon profile remains noticeable, while Red Bull provides carbonation and its familiar mixer character.
Best Garnishes
Orange peel: works particularly well with Beefeater’s citrus profile.
Lemon: keeps the highball sharp.
Lime: provides a brighter, more familiar energy-drink serve.
Sugarfree is also an easy choice for parties because it gives guests an alternative to the fruit-flavored Editions without requiring a completely different bar setup.
Stock the versatile option. Shop Red Bull Sugar Free 0.25L at MyDrinx for easy highballs, party mixers and chilled cans whenever you want Red Bull without sugars.
4. Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry — Best for Bold Berry Drinks
If Apricot Edition is bright and summery, Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry moves in a deeper fruit direction.
Red Bull's Blue Edition flavor varies in some markets, but the Blue Edition offered here is the Blueberry version. Red Bull's official regional product information describes this Blue Edition as having a distinctive blueberry taste.
You can read more on the official Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry page.
The MyDrinx pack includes six 0.25L cans.
Blueberry is particularly useful when you want a more dramatic drink visually and aromatically.
Easy Serve: Blueberry Zero Highball
-
50 ml Beefeater 0.0%
-
100–150 ml Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry
-
Lemon wedge
-
Fresh blueberries, optional
-
Ice
Pour Beefeater 0.0% over plenty of ice, top with Blue Edition and finish with lemon.
The berry flavor brings sweetness and depth, while juniper and citrus from Beefeater 0.0% keep the drink from becoming one-dimensional.
Garnish Ideas
Try:
-
fresh blueberries;
-
lemon peel;
-
lime wedge;
-
rosemary;
-
frozen berries.
For parties, frozen blueberries can also work as a simple visual garnish without adding another mixer.
Make the next highball a little bolder. Shop Red Bull The Blue Edition Blueberry at MyDrinx for berry-forward drinks, chilled party serves and colorful zero-proof combinations.
Which Red Bull Mixer Should You Choose?
The easiest way to choose is by flavor rather than by recipe.
Choose Red Bull Apricot Edition when you want a juicy, fruit-forward drink with a clear summer personality.
Choose Red Bull Sugarfree when you want a more neutral Red Bull mixer without sugars and do not need an additional fruit flavor.
Choose Red Bull Blue Edition Blueberry when you want deeper berry character and a more dramatic party drink.
Add Beefeater 0.0% when you want to turn any of the three into a botanical alcohol-free highball with juniper and citrus notes.
There is no need to build complicated cocktails around them. A tall glass, plenty of ice, one base, one Red Bull Edition and a thoughtful garnish can be enough.

Pinterest Inspiration: Red Bull Mixers for Cocktails
The best mixer combinations often start visually.
A bright orange Apricot Edition serve looks completely different from a dark blueberry highball. Fresh fruit, clear ice, citrus peels and tall glassware can transform a simple two-ingredient drink into something worth saving for the next party.

A Note About Red Bull and Alcohol

For an alcohol-free alternative, the combinations in this guide can be made with Beefeater 0.0%, allowing you to explore botanical Red Bull highballs without alcohol.
