Equipment Needed

  • 1 Clean Glass Bottle or Decanter (750 mL capacity, ideally clear glass to display the swirl)

  • 1 Funnel

  • 1 Measuring Cup & Spoons

  • 1 Whisk

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (12 oz / 355 mL) Moscato White Wine (sweet and chilled)

  • 1 cup (8 oz / 240 mL) Berry-Flavored Vodka (or Peach/Citrus Vodka)

  • ½ cup (4 oz / 120 mL) Simple Syrup (equal parts sugar and water melted together)

  • ¼ tsp Purple Food Coloring (liquid or gel; omit if using dark berry vodka)

  • ½ tsp Edible Pearl Luster Dust or Silver Brew Dust (100% FDA-compliant edible mica powder)

Cooking & Prep Instructions

1.Combine the Spirits Base:2 Minutes.

Place a funnel over your clean 750 mL glass bottle. Pour in 1½ cups Moscato, 1 cup berry vodka, and ½ cup simple syrup.

2.Add the Color:1 Minute.

Add ¼ tsp purple food coloring into the bottle. Cap the bottle and give it a quick 5-second shake to blend the color uniformly into a rich, royal purple tone.

3.Incorporate the Shimmer:2 Minutes.

Remove the cap and carefully add ½ tsp edible luster dust through the funnel.

Tip: Dry the funnel completely before adding the luster dust so the powder doesn’t stick to the damp sides.

4.Shake and Activate:1 Minute.

Securely cap the bottle and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Watch as the shimmer particles suspend in the liquid, creating a mesmerizing, galaxy-like vortex!

 

Serving Suggestions & Intensity Tips

  • The Viniq Shake: Luster dust naturally settles to the bottom over time when left standing. Give the bottle a quick 5-to-10-second hard shake right before pouring to reactivate the shimmer effect.

  • Shimmering Sparkler: Pour 2 oz Homemade Viniq over ice and top with 3 oz chilled Prosecco or Champagne for an instant party cocktail.
