Jello, or gelatin, is often used in cocktails to create fun and colorful jello shots. When mixed with alcohol, jello sets into a solid form, making it a popular choice for parties and events. The gelatinous texture offers a unique way to consume alcohol, and the variety of flavors available allows for creative combinations. Jello shots can be made with virtually any type of liquor, with vodka and rum being the most common choices. These shots are not only easy to prepare but also provide a playful twist on traditional cocktails.
