If you’re looking for a fresh, creatively chic method to serve alcohol at your wedding reception, then I’d like to introduce you to the wonderful world of Jelly Shots.
Jelly Shots are classic cocktails translated into gelatin form, i.e. a grown-up version of the Jell-O Shot (sans Dixie cups, of course!). The hallmarks of a Jelly Shot include: a flavor true to the cocktail inspiration and a free-spirited jiggly form that makes them a delight to devour. Below are a few examples from the pros over at the Jelly Shot Test Kitchen.
