Neon Nougat Nightmare Cocktail Recipe


  • Author: Emma Leveque
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 oz white chocolate liqueur (Godiva or Mozart work beautifully)
  • 1/2 oz blue curaçao
  • 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1/4 oz Irish cream liqueur
  • Neon food coloring (optional, for the glow effect under black light)
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Edible glitter or neon sprinkles, for garnish
  • Ice, for shaking

Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Glass
Place your cocktail glass (preferably a coupe or martini glass) in the freezer to chill while you mix your drink.

Step 2: Combine the Liquors
In a cocktail shaker, pour in the white chocolate liqueur, blue curaçao, vanilla vodka, and Irish cream liqueur.

Step 3: Add Ice and Neon Glow
Fill the shaker with ice and, if desired, add a drop or two of neon food coloring to enhance the visual impact under UV or blacklight.

Step 4: Shake It Like a Nightmare
Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture is chilled and silky smooth.

Step 5: Strain and Serve
Remove the glass from the freezer. Strain the cocktail mixture into your chilled glass.

Step 6: Top and Garnish
Top the cocktail with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle on edible glitter or neon sprinkles for maximum drama.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Snap a pic (because it’s THAT pretty), then sip and enjoy your electrifying candy cocktail.

Notes

The Neon Nougat Nightmare is more than a drink—it’s an edible neon art piece. The combination of creamy white chocolate and zesty blue curaçao may sound unconventional, but they marry in a surprisingly smooth, slightly tangy yet sweet concoction. The whipped cream and glitter? Just the cherry on top of this glowing, glamorous beverage.
