Jell-O shot

Jiggly party booze

A Jell-O shot is an alcoholic treat made by mixing flavored gelatin with liquor, typically vodka, and chilling it until set.

Served in small cups or as cubes, Jell-O shots are party fare—easy to consume and deceptively strong: We did too many Jell-O shots at the tailgate.

The sweet flavor masks the alcohol content.
