🌈 Gummy Glow Shots

Layered gummy vodka with a neon swirl and glowing tonic pop!

🍬 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

Gummy Vodka Layer:

• 1/2 cup vodka

• 1/4 cup gummy bears or gummy worms

• Optional: 1 tsp sugar (for extra sweetness)

• Food coloring (matching your gummy color – pink, red, orange, or green)

Glow Layer:

• 1/4 cup tonic water (must contain quinine for UV glow)

• 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP)

• 1 tbsp simple syrup (adjust to taste)

• Neon food coloring (blue or green works best for glow)

Swirl Topper:

• 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

• Neon gel food coloring (any color you like)

🍭 Candy Rim (Optional):

• Corn syrup (for sticking)

• Crushed gummy candies, sanding sugar, or pop rocks

🧪 Instructions:

1. Infuse the Vodka:

• Place gummies in a small jar.

• Pour in vodka and let them soak for 12–24 hours until fully infused and slightly dissolved.

• Strain out remaining pieces (or keep a few for garnish).

• Add food coloring to boost vibrancy if needed.

2. Prep Candy Rims (Optional):

• Dip shot glasses in corn syrup.

• Roll rims in crushed gummies or colored sugar. Let set.

3. Make the Glow Layer:

• In a shaker, combine tonic water, lemon-lime soda, simple syrup, and neon food coloring.

• Stir gently and chill until ready.

4. Layer the Shots:

• Fill each shot glass halfway with gummy vodka layer.

• Slowly pour glow layer over the back of a spoon to float it above (use a steady hand!).

5. Add the Swirl Topper:

• Mix sweetened condensed milk with a drop of neon gel coloring.

• Drizzle gently on top using a small spoon or squeeze bottle in a swirl motion.

✨ Tips:

• UV glow effect: These shots will glow under a blacklight thanks to the quinine in tonic water.

• Chill before serving for best texture and flavor.

• Garnish with mini gummies on toothpicks or float inside for added flair.
