Glow Up Shots

Lemonade vodka + tonic with edible glitter — sparkles under the lights and hits fast.

💎 Ingredients (makes 10–12 shots):

  • 1/2 cup lemonade-flavored vodka (or plain vodka + lemonade mix)

  • 1/4 cup tonic water (for UV glow)

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed for brightness)

  • 1 tbsp simple syrup (for a touch of sweet sparkle)

  • 1/2 tsp edible glitter (silver, pearl, or gold — shimmer city)

  • Optional: 1–2 drops neon yellow food coloring (for that vibrant glow-up look)


🌟 Glitter Rim (Optional but Worth It):

  • Light corn syrup or lemon wedge (for sticking)

  • Gold sanding sugar or edible shimmer sugar


🍋 Instructions:

  1. Rim the Glasses:
    Dip shot glass rims in corn syrup or run a lemon wedge around the edge, then dip in gold or shimmer sugar. Let set.

  2. Shake It Up:
    In a shaker with ice, combine:

    • Lemonade vodka

    • Tonic water

    • Lemon juice

    • Simple syrup

    • Edible glitter

    • Neon food coloring (if using)

  3. Shake hard until icy cold and shimmering.

  4. Strain into shot glasses and watch the glitter swirl under lights or UV.


💡 Glow & Glam Tips:

  • Tonic water glows blue under blacklight — it’s the secret glow weapon.

  • The glitter effect catches party lights and gives these a luxury vibe.

  • These are dangerously drinkable, bright, and will have your guests glowing inside and out.
