What are in these Halloween test tube shots?

You only need two simple ingredients to make each test tube shot. Have a look in your liqueur cabinet and see what kinds of colors and flavors you already have in stock. 

For my rainbow colored Halloween test tube shots I used the following liqueurs:

  • Creme de Banane (yellow)
  • Blue Curacao (Blue)
  • Cherry liqueur (red)
  • Creme de Menthe (green)

I also made some lilac colored test tube shots using Empress Gin which is a light purple color. You can really use whatever you have on hand and even mix colors to create new hues. 

In addition to the liqueurs, you will need plain old tonic water as your mixer.

The tonic water is the secret ingredient to making your glow in the dark test tube shots that look so impressive at any party.

What tools do I need to make Halloween Test Tube Shots?

You really don’t need much in order to make these shots. First, you will need to get some test tubes if you don’t already have them. 

I got mine from Amazon and they are great because they come with a stand which makes them much easier to work with.

Next, you need either bottle pourers or a funnel so that you don’t make a huge mess when you make these shots. 

How To Make Halloween Test Tube Shots

There is really nothing easier than these test tube shots.

Assuming you have all your ingredients ready, all you need to do is line up your shot glasses and put pouring spouts on your liqueur bottles. 

Now, fill each test tube about half way with the liqueur or your choice. Then top with tonic water. You will see it fizzes up and makes it look like some crazy chemistry experiment that went wrong. 

You can put the stoppers back on your test tubes for easy transportation but keep an eye on them as the carbonation from the tonic can cause them to pop right off.
