It's a really cool effect, but never in a million years did I think you could actually drink something like this. Turns out I was wrong. Worse, it looks like mixing shimmer powder into a drink might be a million dollar idea. I present to you..."Viniq Shimmery Liquor"!
And here's a far more entertaining look at the product. Lots of F-bombs, so it's NSFW. Heh.
While Viniq is obviously a novelty, infusing consumable liquids with food safe mica powder seems like a bang-up idea for Halloween parties and LARP potions. Unfortunately, in pure water it settles out of suspension pretty quickly. I suspect you would need to increase the specific gravity of the liquid with glycerin or sugar syrup to keep the particles in motion.

I did that a month ago for a friend, a small vial of Felix Felicis:
(Made to be drunk, not kept, so I didn't bother aging it)

The dose of powder was very small (just the point of a knife), to avoid potential ill-effects, but as long as you shake the bottle a bit before, it looks decent.
Oh yeah, I can't see ANY side effects from drinking THAT!
You can also try using edible luster instead of mica. Something like "Wilton Pearl Dust" would work well.
My brother bought a bottle of that it taste like very alcoholic cough syrup. And the shimmer settles out fast.
Looks like a kidney stone in a bottle.
Hey, that would be a neat trick to do with my home-brewed absinthe.
