Making a Cocktail Dessert
If there are 2 things that everybody loves its cocktails and dessert. So why not combine the 2 and make something your guests or customers will really enjoy. Jelly shots are basically just vodka and jelly but you could make them with other types of alcohol too. Vodka has a taste that lends itself well to other flavours, so it is most commonly used when making jelly shots.
Make a lot of different flavours of jelly and they look beautiful with all the colours. Watch this video by a professional mixologist that shows you exactly how to make the perfect jelly shot.
But be careful when eating them, they are easy to over-do because you feel like you’re having dessert more than drinking, and you could quickly find yourself quite tipsy.

Why not prepare your jelly shots in hollowed out fruit skins for a beautiful and professional look. Simply scoop out the flesh from the fruit and pour in the vodka/jelly mixture before freezing in a baking tray so that the fruit stays upright. The result is quite impressive.
