Although you really can’t make drinks glow in the dark with out poisoning your guests, you can make drinks that glow under a black light.

The quinine in tonic water will glow under a black light, creating a cool effect for a party. Simple drinks like Vodka or Gin & Tonics can add a nice glow to the party.

Perfect for Halloween, the bases of these 2 oz. shot glasses are wrapped in glow in the dark rubber. Made by uber cool design shop SUCK UK, the rubber base is made of a glow in the dark material that glows green when the lights go out. Not only do they make finding your shot a snap, but it looks ultra spooky too.

SF Gate has some cool, last minute masks if you are lame like me and can’t get a real costume together. Why bother with characters like “Mao Ze Tounge”, “15 Minutes of Fame”, and “Game Face”.

Created by Chronicle Staffers and Local Bay Area Artists, these masks come with easy printable instructions and tips for what else to wear with them. Any of this clever dozen are sure conversation starters. They may even mask you lameness that you had to get a mask from the Newspaper.

Last Minute Halloween Masks

This one was sent over by the nice folks at Malibu Rum (actually their PR Agency). We almost made it to the Distillery in Barbados, but didn’t make it past the Mount Gay Distillery. There are resons for this best lest for another time. Barbados is said to be the birthplace of Rum, having produced it for more than 350 years - WOW. Barbadian rum is much lighter than other rums, which helps give Malibu it’s distictive flavor, the coconut helps too.

1 1/4 oz. Malibu rum
3/4 oz. white crème de cacao
1/4 oz. grapefruit juice
3/4 oz. orange juice

Combine ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and serve into martini glass, garnish with Halloween gummy worms.
