🍊 Ingredients (makes 8 shots):
-
1/3 cup lime vodka or citrus vodka

1/4 cup blue curaçao

1/4 cup tonic water (for glowing effect)

🌟 How to Make the Vortex:
-
Chill your shot glasses to keep layers sharp.
-
Prepare each layer:
-
Layer 1 (bottom): Mix tonic water + lime vodka + a splash of simple syrup.
-
Layer 2 (middle): Blue curaçao.
-
Layer 3 (top): Fresh lemon juice with a tiny splash of tonic water.
-
-
Layer carefully:
-
Pour Layer 1 slowly into shot glasses with ice.
-
Using the back of a spoon, gently pour Layer 2 over Layer 1 to create a distinct blue layer.
-
Repeat with Layer 3, pouring very slowly to float lemon juice on top.
-
-
Create the vortex effect:
When ready to drink, stir gently with a small swizzle stick to create a swirling tornado of citrus colors glowing under blacklight!
✨ Glow Tips:
-
The quinine in tonic water glows vividly under blacklight — the secret to the neon effect!
-
Serve in clear shot glasses with blacklight or LED base to maximize the glowing tornado look.
