Candy Glow Shots

Lemon tonic and neon dust mix that glows and fizzes
🍋🌟 Makes 6–8 shots


🧪 Ingredients:

For the Shots:

  • 2 oz lemon vodka (or plain vodka with lemon juice)

  • 2 oz tonic water (for glow effect under blacklight)

  • 1 oz lemon syrup or lemonade concentrate

  • ½ oz blue curaçao (for a neon green effect when mixed with yellow)

  • Pinch of edible neon drink dust or shimmer powder (neon yellow, green, or glow-safe shimmer)

  • Ice

For Garnish/Rim:

  • Light corn syrup or honey

  • Sour lemon candy powder or crushed lemon rock candy

  • Neon gummy rings or lemon drops (optional)


🍸 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rim (Optional but Fun!):

    • Dip the rims of your shot glasses in corn syrup or honey.

    • Roll in sour lemon candy powder or crushed rock candy for a zippy bite.

  2. Make the Glow Mix:

    • In a shaker, combine lemon vodka, lemon syrup, blue curaçao, tonic water, and a pinch of neon drink dust or shimmer powder.

    • Add ice and shake well for 10–15 seconds until chilled and lightly fizzy.

  3. Pour and Glow:

    • Strain the glowing mix into prepared shot glasses.

    • Serve immediately. The tonic water will glow under blacklight — perfect for parties!

  4. Garnish (Optional):

    • Top with a neon gummy ring or drop a lemon candy into each glass just before serving for a fizzing effect.
