Blow Pop Martini Jelly Shot

Although it is unusual for me to steer towards sweet cocktails, I find myself completely overcome with infatuation for this spirit. I concocted these Blow Pop Martini Jelly Shots for JSTK's TV debut on Twin Cities Live (here's the link to the segment if you would like to watch . . .), and am eagerly searching for more Bazooka-flavor friendly drinks - if you have any inspiration in this regard, please comment or send me an email! Have a happy and safe New Years Eve, everyone!

Rainbow Cherry Jigglers

When serving jelly shots at mixed gatherings, I like to also provide some kid-friendly non-alcoholic options. Often its simply multicolored layered jigglers, or a juice-based gelatin molded into a fun shape. I recently ran across these adorable Roland brand rainbow-hued, flavored maraschino cherries and couldn't wait to work them into our bag of party tricks!

The cherries can be purchased online at the Roland Foods site. Cheers, Michelle Rainbow Cherry Jigglers Implements: Two flexible silicon hemisphere molds (try Kerekes - they have an amazing variety!)

One of the highlights of our week was a lovely chat with Erin over at Tablespoon.com, who mentioned that they were hosting a Double Rainbow Week, which sounded like such fun! (And it IS - featured items include double rainbow . . . donuts! So, when the weekend rolled around, rather than trolling cocktail books for jelly shot inspiration, we decided it was high time for a bit of unfettered f-u-n . . .

I love the "rainbow" gelatin technique - borrowed from the popular recipe for kids' finger gelatin. Best Recipes Ever - StumbleUpon. Foodgawker - StumbleUpon.
