NØLO Recipe: The One That Glows in the Dark
Oct 31, 2026
Every Halloween gathering needs someone with a party trick.
Enter: The One That Glows in the Dark. This booze-free concoction brings citrus, a little grenadine, and tonic to the glass. Yes, it's charming enough with the lights on. But under a black light? Your glass is positively glowing.
Finally, a cocktail everyone will ask about that won't have you asking, "what happened last night?"
Ingredients
Makes one drink.
- 3 oz nonalcoholic gin, we love the juniper-forward Monday Gin
- ½ oz lemon juice
- 1 tsp grenadine
- 1 handful ice
- Tonic water, to top
Make It
- Combine your favorite gin, lemon juice, and grenadine in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake to mix, then pour into a large glass filled with ice.
- Top with tonic water and stir gently.
The party trick: The tonic’s quinine glows with a bright, milky-blue color under a black light. You’ll need one (or a bunch) on hand to get the glow.
🍸 Lazy Barkeep Verdict: The black light is extra credit. The cocktail stands on her own with or without the spooky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
