Glow Drop Shots

Tiny, bright bombs of citrus vodka and tonic fizz — pop one, feel the buzz

🍋 Ingredients (Makes ~8 shots):

  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or citrus sour mix)

  • 1/4 cup tonic water (for blacklight glow)

  • 1/2 cup citrus vodka (or use lemon-flavored vodka)

  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup (optional, for balance)

  • Neon yellow or green food coloring (just a drop)

  • Edible glitter or shimmer dust (gold or green for glow)

  • Ice

Mocktail version: Skip the vodka and add more lemon-lime soda or use a citrus mocktail mix.


⚡ Directions:

  1. Shake the buzz:
    In a cocktail shaker, combine lemon juice, lemon-lime soda, tonic water, citrus vodka, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake until icy cold.

  2. Glow it up:
    Add a drop of neon food coloring and a pinch of edible glitter or shimmer dust. Shake again gently to disperse the sparkle.

  3. Pour into shot glasses:
    Watch the fizz pop and sparkle like little glowing bombs.

  4. Serve under blacklight — the tonic and glitter will light up like a citrus explosion!


💥 Optional Garnishes:

  • Rim the shot glasses with citrus sugar (sugar + lemon zest + neon coloring)

  • Add a tiny drop of tonic + food coloring just before serving for a bubbly “drop” effect

  • Use clear or glow-in-the-dark shot glasses for max effect
