Luminous Gelatin Shooters

These Glow-In-The-Dark Shots are Perfect for a Halloween Party

'Bustle' recently put together a tutorial for making luminous gelatin shooters that are perfect for a Halloween party. Although Jell-O shots are nothing new, this recipe takes the classic party shooters up a notch by adding an extra-special touch.

To make the glow-in-the-dark Jello-O shots, all that's required is colorful Jell-O mix, tonic water and vodka. To mix the alcoholic filling, simply combine all of the ingredients according to the instructions listed on the package. To create the illusion that the shooters are glowing, it is necessary to use a black light. The light illuminates the neon-colored Jello-O, which makes the shots glow-in-the-dark.

The fun and easy recipe is perfect for a Halloween party held at night.
