Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor and effect:

For the punch base:

???? 2 cups blue raspberry lemonade or blue sports drink
???? 1½ cups grape juice (100% juice preferred for rich color)
???? 1 cup pineapple juice – for sweetness and brightness
???? 2 cups vodka (or white rum; optional for alcohol version)
???? 2 cups tonic water – glows under blacklight thanks to quinine
???? ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice – boosts the tartness
???? Ice – use large cubes or glow-in-the-dark shapes

Optional add-ins:

???? Blueberries or grapes (frozen, to keep punch cold and pretty)
???? Rock candy sticks or glow sticks (for serving glasses)
???? Edible glitter or shimmer powder (for swirling glow)
✨ Neon straws, glowing stirrers, or LED cubes

Instructions

Step 1: Chill all your ingredients
This drink is best served cold, so place all juices, tonic water, and alcohol in the fridge for a few hours before making the punch.

Step 2: Create your aurora color swirl
In a large clear punch bowl or drink dispenser, pour in:

2 cups blue raspberry lemonade
1½ cups grape juice
1 cup pineapple juice
½ cup lemon juice
Stir gently to combine.

Step 3: Add vodka or white rum
Pour in 2 cups vodka or white rum. For a non-alcoholic version, skip this step or replace with lemon-lime soda or more tonic water.

Step 4: Add the glow
Pour in tonic water just before serving—this is what glows under blacklight. Stir gently again.

Step 5: Finish with flair
Add frozen grapes or blueberries to float on top. Sprinkle in edible shimmer if desired. Add LED cubes or serve with neon garnishes for extra magic.

Notes

To get the best Northern Lights glow, follow these extra tips:

Blacklight is key. Tonic water glows under UV light because of quinine. Set up a few blacklight bulbs near your punch bowl.
For layering effect, pour juices slowly and in order of weight—grape juice first, then pineapple, then blue lemonade.
Use clear glassware or a transparent dispenser for best visual impact.
