🎃 Jack-O’-Lantern Shots

Glowing orange soda meets smooth caramel vodka for a festive, fizzy treat.

🧪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):

Shot Base:

• 1/2 cup orange soda (with quinine tonic for glow under black light, or use plain soda for non-glow)

• 1/4 cup caramel vodka

• 2 tbsp orange juice (fresh or bottled)

• 1 tbsp triple sec (optional, for extra orange flavor)

• 1 tbsp simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

• Optional: pinch of edible gold glitter or shimmer dust

Optional Garnish:

• Orange sanding sugar (for rimming)

• Candy corn or mini orange slices

🧪 Directions:

1. Mix the Base:
   In a pitcher or shaker, combine orange soda, caramel vodka, orange juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Stir gently to preserve fizz. Add edible glitter if using.

2. Rim the Glasses (Optional):
   Rub rims with an orange slice or dip in corn syrup, then coat with orange sanding sugar.

3. Pour and Serve:
   Fill each shot glass about 3/4 full with the fizzy orange mixture. Add candy garnish if desired.

4. Glow Tip:
   Use a UV black light to make these shots glow — tonic-based orange soda or a splash of tonic water will glow due to quinine.
