Drink Recipes that Glow
I’m often asked how to make glow in the dark cocktails. This can’t really be done, but you can make blacklight reactive drinks and use glow in the dark accessories for some neat effects
Tonic water is made from quinine. This bitter tasting soda like water, is made from the bark of the Cinchona tree found in the Andes Mountains. It was originally used to treat Malaria. It helps to reduce fevers and leg cramps as well. The neat thing is that Quinine is also photochemical reactive. That means it glows blueish white when exposed to ultraviolet or blacklights. The fluorescent quality is best when you use a lot of tonic water in your drink. The following is a list of drinks to make that will glow.
Make these in a highball filled with ice. Use 1 oz. of liquor in each.
Vodka or Gin & Tonic
Nuclear Fallout
Blue Curacao & Tonic
Austrian Hussar
Apricot Brandy & Tonic with a lemon twist
Red Tonic
Vodka, Grenadine, Lemon Juice & Tonic
Marmalade
Orange Curacao & Tonic
Mind Eraser
Vodka, Kahlua & Tonic (instead of Soda)
Gin & Pink
