Course Snack
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Shot glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup tonic water
  • 1 cup lemonade
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the gelatin over half the tonic water in a mixing bowl and let it sit for two minutes to bloom.
  • Heat the remaining tonic water with the sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Do not let the mixture boil.
  • Pour the hot tonic water into the bloomed gelatin and stir until fully dissolved.
  • Stir in the lemonade until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  • Divide the liquid evenly among eight small shot glasses or molds.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours until firm.
  • Serve under a blacklight so the tonic water glows.

Notes

Use a standard yellow lemonade for the clearest color and brightest glow. If the mixture tastes too tart after chilling, add a small pinch more sugar before the final chill. Keep the shots covered in the fridge until ready to serve so they stay firm.
