How do I make an iridescent alcholic drink?
I want to make an iridescent drink to complement a cake I have with a metallic sheen. I can't figure out how to make the drink though. I want a glow, or a luster, or something cool-looking. Is it possible?
Oh, and this would need to be non-toxic.....to state the obvious.
thanks in advance!
Answers:
blue curacao and orange juice glows green
There are a lot of everyday materials that fluoresce, or glow, when placed under a black light. A black light gives off highly energetic ultraviolet light. You can't see this part of the spectrum, which is how 'black lights' got their name. Fluorescent substances absorb the ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the emitted light has a longer wavelength than the absorbed radiation, which makes this light visible and causes the material to appear to 'glow'
Club Soda or Tonic Water
The bitter flavoring of tonic water is due to the presence of quinine, which glows blue-white when placed under a black light.
If the cake has a metallic sheen you could always try a metallic drink........Goldschlager. It's clear with [non-toxic] flakes of gold floating around in it. (It's a very strong cinnamon schnapps.)
Under a black light, Mountain Dew, sour mix, and many other "tart" liquids glow nicely.
Black Light! We have these in the Bar to show the stamps on your hand.
Tonic water glows very nicely!!! Also several Energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster Glow like you would not believe!! Try it!@!@
