Phosphors absorb UV light and then emit it in their own colour, in this case glowing blue light. The fluorescent dye is another option for a bright effect under a black light. Using a sharp fruit sugar, in very low amounts, let us deliver a light, delicate citrus profile that accentuates gin, rather. Tonic water glows very brightly when exposed to black light and is great for edible projects. These are the substances which glow when they are hit with particular wavelengths of the EM spectrum, including UV light. Light in both form and function, this precise tonic water is one for the true believers. quinine contains rare earth compounds called phosphors. If you want to get a bit more scientific about it. So, why does quinine absorb UV light (the invisible component of sunlight that produces sun tans and sunburns!)? It is due to the structure of the quinine molecule, which enables it to take in energy in the form of invisible UV light and immediately radiate some of that same energy in the form of visible blue light. Some say that the reason we find things that glow under UV light fascinating is because we cannot see the UV light they absorb but can see the visible light they emit. When exposed under a black light, milk and cream-based drink will glow many colors while tonic water will glow a cool blue. The sensitivity of quinine to UV light is such that it can appear visibly fluorescent in direct sunlight. As for the drinks, you can serve either white-milk or cream-based or just clear tonic water. Tonic water will fluoresce under ultraviolet light (UV light) because of the presence of quinine. The reason for this lies within the tonic water. The tonic water Jell-O under normal light (top) and a UV light (bottom).
