Make Your Own Nuka Cola Quantum

Step 1Stuff you need

stuff you need
hear is a list of stuff you need (because i cant spell ingredeints)
Nuka-Cola Quantum Recipe
Two drops of Blue food Coloring
Two drops of Red food Coloring
One Foosh "Seriously Caffeinated" Mint
1/3rds Sprite
1/3rds Mountain Dew
1/3rds Squirt! soda
Tonic water

If it Exists a small black light LED can be mounted on the bottom like a normal led with a watch battery, this will make it glow 
To help with the light defusing through the liquid, add some small piece of reflective material under the leds 
here is some other stuff to make to look cool
- OLD coca cola glass bottle (remember EVERYTHING is better when it comes fresh from a glass bottle )
- some white or blue leds
- small watch batteries
- anything else
- the labels made by aznz888 from facepunch (recipe to)

is there anyway besides using LEDs on the bottom of the bottle to make the mixture glow not only in the dark but in natural lighting? ive been searching for a way to make a liquid glow that you can still drink and i keep coming up empty handed, and if not then how do you put the LEDs on the bottle an instrutable would be nice please and thank you!

I got a lava lamp light and put it under the bottle and it works great you could also use a stick light im not sure what its called but they are lights that are flast and the other side is stick so you can have a portable lightbulb

what i did was make a LED double throwie (2 LEDs, 1 battery) and put it inside a watertight clear plastic container which floated, attached some fishing line and a weight, causing it to float right behind the label (invisible) and it works well

Well, you could always find a supermutant, which aren't even that rare anymore, and kill them to extract the FEV virus found in them. Then you'd need to put the virus inside the cola, giving it the equivalent boost of rad poison, to radiate the water and make it glow. Other than that, no.

Im pretty sure you can make it glow in blacklight by adding tonic water.

I don't think there's any way to make it glow in natural light and have it be edible, but c'mon, glow-in-the-dark anything is still cool.

This might work to make it glow-in-the-dark and edible.

If you just want a display piece though, just get any liquid and empty either highlighter ink into it, a glowstick, or fluorescent paint.

Besides those though, there's honestly no way to make it emit enough light to be visible in natural lighting, as well as edible.

 Quinine, the "tonic" in gin and tonic fluoresces. Its obviously edible as people drink it and is easy found in tonic water used for drinks. Diluted in the tonic water sold for consumption shouldn't be harmful or anything. I'd imagine you'd need to use an LED that emits light towards the UV side of the spectrum to get it to fluoresce. Getting it to work seems as easy as determining the wavelength and such of the light that works and then finding an LED that is suitable. 

Scroll down in the article to see it glow in a picture.

 I take this article more pf just an inspiration 'ible. I plan to make NukaCola Quantum now, but prob not with any of these things except for the LEDs maybe.

Do you have to use the Foosh "Seriously Caffeinated" Mint and the Squirt!.

I remember seeing a usage of 5-Hour energy for the glow in bottle AND YOUR PEE! Plus, add some rip it and rock star pomogranate for added flavors. Should taste just like described in the game itself!

i feel drinking that would be catastrophic to your health getting all jacked up on sugar and 5hour energy
