Where it came from
Jello shots came out of US college campuses in the 1980s and 1990s. The recipe is essentially a Jello dessert with vodka substituted for half the cold water. Once set, the shot holds its shape and can be eaten or sucked out of a small cup.
Meagan’s version uses two flavours of Jello layered for visual effect, and raspberry vodka to amplify the fruit.
What it tastes like
Sweet raspberry and strawberry, the vodka almost completely hidden by the jelly. The cold and the gel texture cover the alcohol entirely. They feel like a dessert, drink like a shot.
Quantity is the watch-out. People eat them like candy and forget there is vodka in there.
