7. DRINKS THAT GLOW BLUE UNDER BLACK LIGHTS
Tonic water glows a bright blue under black lights and works well when mixed with any clear alcohol. Clear alcohol (Gin, vodka, white rum , coconut rum etc) mixed with Tonic Water.

8. Glow in the Dark JELL-O

UV Glow in the dark party

The glowing comes from the fluorescence of the quinine in the tonic water.

Quinine also gives tonic water a distinctive bitter flavor which is why it is best mixed with other sweeter ingredients.
As you can see, the quinine glows blue-white when placed under a black light which makes it the perfect ingredient for a spooky JELL-O treat.
HOW TO:

Glow in the dark JELL-O is not only a fun science project, but a super fun Halloween treat. Pick up a black light at your local Halloween shop to show off it’s glow!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup tonic water
  • 1 package of JELL-O (SEE AMAZON)

  • Additional Sugar (to help cut the bitterness)

UV GLOWING WATER ( NOT EDIBLE)

 9. MAKE NON EDIBLE GLOWING WATER FOR WATER BEADS OR TABLE FAUX FLOWERS - ETC

The fluorescent dye is another option for a bright effect under a black light. You can extract non-toxic fluorescent dye from a highlighter pen to make glowing water:

  1. Use a knife to (carefully) cut a highlighter pen in half. It's a pretty simple steak knife and cutting board procedure.
  2. Pull out the ink-soaked felt that is inside the pen.
  3. Soak the felt in a small quantity of water. 
  4. All done!
