Description
This Halloween, light up your party with a glowing, vibrant lemonade. This recipe combines classic lemonade with a secret ingredient for a spooky, luminescent effect that’s safe to drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large lemons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 cups cold water
- 1 teaspoon tonic water (or more for brighter glow)
- Ice cubes
- Optional garnishes: lemon slices, gummy worms, plastic spiders
Instructions
- Juice the lemons into a large pitcher, ensuring no seeds get in.
- Add the sugar to the lemon juice and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour in the cold water and mix well.
- Slowly add the tonic water, stirring gently. The more tonic water you add, the brighter the glow will be under black light.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the glow-in-the-dark lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish with lemon slices, gummy worms, or plastic spiders for a festive touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy under black light for the best glowing effect.
Notes
- Tonic water contains quinine, which glows under black light. Ensure you use tonic water, not club soda or seltzer.
- The glow effect is only visible under a black light.
- You can prepare the lemonade ahead of time, but add the tonic water just before serving for the best results.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon zest to the sugar before dissolving.
