You can make your own version of a "Red Bull"-style energy drink at home using a combination of caffeine, taurine, B-vitamins, sweetener, and carbonation. Here’s a basic, DIY version:

⚡ Homemade Red Bull-Style Energy Drink (1 serving ~250ml)

🧪 Ingredients:

• Caffeine: 80 mg (equal to a small cup of coffee or ½ caffeine pill)

• Taurine: 1000 mg (buy as powder or capsules)

• Vitamin B Complex: One tablet or ¼ crushed pill (mainly B3, B6, B12)

• Citric Acid: ¼ tsp (for tartness and preservative effect)

• Sugar or Sweetener: 2 tbsp sugar or alternative (like stevia/erythritol)

• Carbonated Water: 250 ml (chilled)

• Natural Flavor (optional): A few drops of fruit juice concentrate, citrus extract, or food-grade flavoring

• Coloring (optional): If you want it to look more like Red Bull

🥣 Instructions:

1. Dissolve Powders: In a small amount of warm water (50 ml), dissolve taurine, caffeine, crushed vitamin B tablet, citric acid, and sweetener.

2. Mix with Carbonated Water: Pour the concentrated mix into a glass of cold carbonated water.

3. Add Flavor/Color: Mix in your chosen natural flavor or food-safe coloring.

4. Stir Gently: To maintain carbonation, stir gently.

5. Chill & Drink: Serve over ice or refrigerate before drinking.

⚠️ Safety Notes:

• Do not exceed 400 mg of caffeine/day (less if you're caffeine-sensitive).

• Taurine is generally safe up to 3,000 mg/day, but consult a doctor before regular use.

• B-vitamins are water-soluble, but large doses of niacin (B3) can cause flushing.
