Booze that glow under a blacklight
15 December 2009, 23:38
So, I’ve experimented with my friend g… tonight about booze that glow under a blacklight because we needed to design a drink for a client and here’s a list of our findings.
Note: alcohol wise, a lot of things in my bar were left out because they were not expected to glow (so please no comments about “you didn’t try that” unless you know that it does glow), otherwise comments about this or that glows are welcome!
Doesn’t glow:
- vitamin B12 (yes, reportedly working but not for us!)
- galliano
- lemon juice
- ice tea
- ice tea powder variants (they ruin the thing)
Doesn’t ruin glow but doesn’t help:
- cointreau
- crème de menthe (i guess cream minth in english)
- soho
Glows in the dark:
- blue curacao (marie brizard’s curaçao bleu)
- bacardi limon
- midori (melon liqueur)
- Peach schnapps
- vodka
- 94% abv alcool (probably only available in quebec)
- redbull (with an award for doing it with style: nuclear waste look)
- rockstar juice
- and a lot of the “watery” juices we tested: peach, citrus, grapefruit
As a side note, redbull is amazingly trippy under a black light! It ended up contributing to 25% of our recipe.
Just had a great night making sure all that was “human” consumable.
