💀 Deadlight Shots

UV-reactive tonic, lemon vodka, and shimmering ghost glitter combine in these chilling, glowing shots.


🧪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

Shot Base:

  • 1/2 cup tonic water (for glow under UV/black light)

  • 1/4 cup lemon vodka

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh for brightness)

  • 1 tbsp simple syrup (adjust to taste)

  • Optional: 1/2 tsp silver or white edible glitter (“ghost glitter”)

  • Optional: Splash of white grape juice or club soda for more fizz

Optional Garnish:

  • Silver sugar rim

  • White candy pearls or mini glow sprinkles


🧪 Directions:

  1. Mix the Base:
    In a shaker or mixing cup, combine tonic water, lemon vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir gently to avoid losing carbonation. Add edible glitter for a shimmering ghostly effect.

  2. Rim the Glasses (Optional):
    Dip shot glass rims in lemon juice and coat with silver sanding sugar for a glistening edge.

  3. Pour and Chill:
    Fill each shot glass about 3/4 full with the glowing mixture. Serve immediately while cold.

  4. Turn on the Black Light:
    The tonic water will glow with an eerie bluish hue under UV light — perfect for haunted house parties or glow-in-the-dark themes.
