They’re designed to:

• Glow under blacklight

• Look absolutely stunning on a party table

• Fit into any gaming, retro, or neon-themed event

• Taste sweet, fruity, and fun

And the best part?
They’re crazy easy to make with just a few ingredients.

If you want a party drink that’s as cute as it is powerful, you’re in the right place.

 Ingredients for Pink Pixel Shots

To make these glowing beauties, you’ll need:

• 1 box (3 oz) strawberry Jello (the pinker, the better)

• 1 cup boiling water

• ½ cup cold water

• ½ cup glow vodka (UV Pink, UV Blue, or citrus vodka that pops under UV light)

• Pixel-style candy sprinkles (like Nerds, square sprinkles, or crushed rainbow candies)

• Optional: Mini neon shot glasses, blacklight mini cubes, glitter sugar

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Power Up the Pixels

• In a mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello completely into 1 cup boiling water.

• Stir until you see absolutely no grains — a smooth liquid is key!

2. Activate the Glow

• Stir in ½ cup cold water and ½ cup glow vodka.

• Whisk thoroughly to mix all the magic together.

3. Set the Stage

• Carefully pour the mixture into mini neon or clear plastic shot glasses.

• Chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours or until the shots are completely set.

4. Level Up the Aesthetic

• Right before serving, top each shot with a generous sprinkle of pixel candies.

• Optional: Add a mini neon ice cube or edible glitter for extra shine.

5. Game Mode: Activated

• Turn on your blacklight and watch your shots glow like neon potions.

 Bonus: How to Make Pink Pixel Shots Glow Even Brighter

Want that ultimate glow?
Here are pro tricks:

• Use UV-reactive vodka (brands like UV Pink or UV Blue light up brilliantly).

• Add a tiny splash of tonic water to the cold water mix (tonic glows under UV!).

• Serve the shots inside glow-in-the-dark shot cups.

Your shots will look straight out of a cyberpunk video game!

And UV Vodka brands add natural fluorescence too, making them perfect for parties!
