Description

💜 Purple Flash Shots

Grape liqueur and tonic with violet shimmer

Flavor Profile: Fruity, slightly fizzy, and glow-ready with a dazzling violet hue.


✨ Ingredients (Makes 4 shots)

  • 2 oz (60 ml) grape liqueur (like Giffard Crème de Violette or a grape schnapps)

  • 1 oz (30 ml) vodka (optional for extra kick)

  • 2 oz (60 ml) tonic water (for glow under blacklight)

  • 1/4 tsp violet edible shimmer dust (or edible luster dust)

  • Ice (for shaking)


🧪 Instructions

  1. Chill Your Glasses:
    Place 4 shot glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.

  2. Mix the Magic:
    In a cocktail shaker, add:

    • Grape liqueur

    • Vodka (if using)

    • Edible shimmer dust

    • A few ice cubes

    Shake well for 15–20 seconds until chilled and shimmery.

  3. Add the Glow:
    Open the shaker and gently stir in the tonic water (don’t shake it with the tonic or it will fizz over!).

  4. Serve the Flash:
    Strain into your chilled shot glasses. Watch as the shimmer swirls in mesmerizing violet waves.


💡 Tips & Variations

  • Glow Up: Use quinine tonic water for a UV-glow effect under blacklight.

  • Sweeter Version: Add a splash of lemon-lime soda or white cranberry juice.

  • Mocktail Option: Use grape juice + tonic + shimmer dust.
