Instructions

2️⃣ In a large punch bowl, combine tonic water, lemon-lime soda, pineapple juice, white grape juice, and blue sports drink. Stir gently.
3️⃣ If you want an extra glow, add a few drops of neon food coloring (blue, green, or purple).

Notes
✔️ Why does it glow? Tonic water contains quinine, which glows under UV light!
✔️ More glow? Use glowing ice cubes made from tonic water.
✔️ Flavor swaps? Try swapping white grape juice for apple juice or use lemon-lime Kool-Aid for extra tang.
✔️ Make ahead: Mix everything except carbonated drinks (soda & club soda). Add those right before serving for fizz!
Enjoy your glowing Northern Lights Punch and light up the night! 🌌✨
