What can I put in Jell-O shots to make them glow under a blacklight?

Who knows lots and lots about booze?

My housemates and I are throwing a blacklight party tomorrow night and I'm wondering what I can put in Jell-O shots to make them glow under blacklight -- I know tonic water works, but I don't know how that would go in the shots. I've also heard that Tanqueray gin will work, but isn't that expensive?

(In case you don't know, the normal recipe for a batch of Jell-O shots is one part boiling water, one part liquor, usually vodka, and then the powdered mix.)

Thanks for helping out a party-hard DU lurker :-)

3. Good!

I've been well; I've traveled a bit over the past month and am tied up with finishing school, so I haven't been around too much, but I know enough about DU that it's always the best place to go with strange questions...

2. Tonic water glows in blacklight?

Huh. Learn something new every day.

I'll file that away for future reference.

13. Tonic water glows because of the quinine in it...

[Err]

4. That'd be sweet to see!

Glowing Jello shots...

I usually skip the jello and go straight for the vodka. :)

5. I suggest using stuff that's fairly neon under normal light...

Not sure if it would work, but maybe add some Midori or Hpnotic to the mix. :shrug:
