The 101 Halloween Jell-O Shot Experiment
If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll end up making over 101 Jell-O shots
For anyone who has attended a family party thrown by the Corbi-Amrani-Weichel’s, they know that the specific libations are of particular importance to us. Therefore for Halloween, a rather odd and awesome tradition has emerged. While the kids Trick or Treat for candy, we decided it would be a good idea to pass around some Jell-O shots after the kids were done as a nice thing for the exhausted parents.
As what always happens with new food/spirits discoveries I decided I wanted to do a little experimenting and see what I came up with.
It started with one batch, then two and eventually I didn’t stop until I ran out of gelatin and liquor.
There were 101 shots, 13 different flavors, and 4 different liquors were used:
For a complete list of all flavor combinations see list below:
- The Screwdriver — Orange Jell-O with Vodka and Triple Sec
2. The Gimlet — Lime Jell-O with Gin and Triple Sec
3. The Tom Arnold — clear gelatin with Blue Coat Gin, green tea simple syrup, lemon juice, seltzer water, and Triple Sec
4. The Mystery Man — Fruit Punch Jell-O with Gin, Vodka, and Triple Sec
5. The Why is all the rum gone — Lime Jell-O with dark caribbean rum
6. The Island Hopper — Mango Jell-O with Coconut Rum
7. The Jolly Rogers — Green Apple Jolly Rancher Jell-O with Coconut Rum
8. The Blue Hen — Blueberry Jell-O with Gin and Triple Sec
9. The Red Devil — Raspberry Jell-O with Gin and Triple Sec
10. The Matrix — Half Blue Hen and Half Red Devil, layered shot
11. The Citrus Limon — Lemon Jell-O with Vodka, lemon juice, and Triple Sec
12. The Prunus serotina — Black Cherry Jell-O with Vodka and Triple Sec
13. The Crocus sativus — Half Citrus Limon and Half Prunus Serotina, layered shot
So that’s the list, for next time I want to experiment with natural gelatins, organic gelatins, vegan gelatins, also with natural colors like beet juice, carrot juice, wheatgrass juice, and I also want to delve into using citric acid and other food acids to enhance the flavor.
Until next time, keep eating and drinking and eating again…
