1 tbsp simple syrup (optional, to taste)

1/2 tsp edible shimmer dust (gold or pearl for tropical glow)

🧪 Directions:
-
Mix the Base:
In a shaker, combine pineapple juice, tonic water, coconut rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Add shimmer dust and shake gently until well mixed and glowing. -
Rim the Glasses (Optional):
Dip rims in lime juice and coat with tropical sugar or finely shredded coconut for an island touch. -
Pour and Chill:
Fill each shot glass 3/4 full with the glowing tropical mix. Garnish with a tiny pineapple slice or lime wedge if desired. -
Serve with Black Light:
The tonic water will glow brightly under UV/black light, making these shots pop with island magic at night.
