Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or looking for a delicious, boozy dessert for a blacklight night, glow in the dark jello shots are the perfect choice. They’re easy to make, look like mad scientist experiments, and are a fun way to serve a drink.

First, you need to start by preparing your ingredients. The basic Jello shot recipe calls for one packet of unflavored gelatin and half a cup of cold water. You can also use powdered gelatin. If you don’t want to purchase the gelatin, you can easily make it yourself by boiling tonic water until it’s dissolved.

Once the gelatin is dissolved, you can add a bit of liquor. Clear alcohol is the best choice, but you can substitute gin or vodka. You can also mix in sweet flavored drinks, such as malibu rum or blue curacao. Just be sure to match the color of your jello shot with the color of the liquor. For example, if you’re making green jello, you should choose a clear, cold tequila.

Once the gelatin and liquid have cooled, you can pour the mixture into small shot glasses. If you’re making a larger batch, you can make the jello in a pan or a Bundt pan. It’s recommended that you chill the jello for at least two hours to set it. You can store leftover jello in the refrigerator with lids on. They will last for a week or more.

For a more creative presentation, you can also make glow in the dark jello shots using a plastic syringe. The syringes look creepy and add a nice Halloween touch. You can find them online or at your local grocery store. You can also buy gummy eyeballs and place them on top of your jello.

To make the jello glow, you’ll need a blacklight. You can get one from Amazon.com or from a friend. If you’re setting up a party, you should consider purchasing a rope black light.

In order to make the jello glow, you’ll also need tonic water. Tonic water is made from quinine, a chemical that gives it the unique taste and glow. When tonic water is exposed to a blacklight, it lights up. It’s important to note that the tonic water will make the jello taste bitter. If you’d prefer to use gin or vodka, you can replace the tonic water.

Once the jello is poured into the glasses, you’ll need to allow it to sit for at least two hours before you serve it. It will also solidify better in the fridge. You can add a bit of ice to help keep it cold. If you’re planning on serving it at a blacklight party, you should ensure that your guests are near the blacklight.

In addition to the ingredients for a jello shot, you’ll need a blacklight. A 24-inch blacklight from Amazon is a good option. You can also use a flashlight for this purpose. The key is to have the jello in the area where the blacklight is.
