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.{{cn|date=September 2022}}

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.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Taste Atlas|url=https://www.tasteatlas.com/skittle-bomb/recipe|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}[http://www.cocktailmaking.co.uk/displaycocktail.php/7815-Skittle-Bomb Skittle Bomb Preparation]
