- 1/4 cup Red Bull energy drink

Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat butter and shortening together until creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add Red Bull, vanilla extract, and salt; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Tips
- For a stronger Red Bull flavor, replace vanilla extract with 1 additional teaspoon of Red Bull.
- Store frosted cake in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before serving.
- This frosting is not recommended for piping intricate designs due to its soft consistency.
