Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 1/2 cup strawberry vodka
- 1/4 cup kiwi liqueur (like Bols Kiwi or Midori)
- 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda or tonic water (tonic water glows under blacklight)
- 1 tbsp strawberry syrup or grenadine
- 1 tsp lime juice
Optional Enhancers
- 1/2 tsp edible shimmer or glitter dust
- 1 drop neon pink or electric green food coloring
For Rimming
- Tonic water or corn syrup (for sticking the sugar)
- Neon pink sanding sugar or glow sugar
Garnishes
- Tiny strawberry slice
- Kiwi slice on the rim
- Mini pink heart sprinkles (optional)
Others
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rims: Dip the rims of shot glasses into tonic water or corn syrup to create a sticky surface, then coat them evenly with neon pink sanding sugar. Allow the rims to set and dry slightly so the sugar adheres well.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, add the strawberry vodka, kiwi liqueur, lemon-lime soda or tonic water, strawberry syrup or grenadine, lime juice, edible shimmer or glitter dust (if using), and a drop of neon pink or electric green food coloring (if desired).
- Shake the Mixture: Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is very cold and the shimmer is well incorporated to create a glowing effect.
- Strain into Glasses: Strain the chilled mixture carefully into the prepared rimmed shot glasses, ensuring the neon pink sugar rim stays intact.
- Garnish the Shots: Add a tiny slice of fresh strawberry or a kiwi slice onto the rim of each shot glass. Optionally, sprinkle mini pink heart sprinkles on top for added decoration.
- Serve and Glow: Serve the Electric Kiss Shots immediately. For the full glowing effect, present them under a blacklight, especially when using tonic water, which fluoresces under UV light.
Notes
- Using tonic water instead of lemon-lime soda enhances the glowing effect under blacklight due to its quinine content.
- Edible shimmer or glitter dust is optional but adds a beautiful sparkle to the shots.
- Neon food coloring intensifies the vibrant look but can be omitted if desired.
- Ensure the rims are well coated with sugar to prevent it from falling off when pouring the liquid.
- Serve these shots cold and immediately for the best visual and flavor experience.
- Use fresh fruit slices for garnish to add freshness and authenticity.
