A new take on the classic Jell-O shot is making waves in the craft cocktail world. Solid Wiggles, a duo composed of Jena Derman and Jack Schramm, is behind the innovative cocktail jellies. Their creations are not only visually stunning but also packed with fresh juice and good spirits.
The Story Behind Solid Wiggles
Derman and Schramm met while working on perfecting desserts and bartending science. They started experimenting with boozy jellies, which eventually led to the creation of Solid Wiggles. The pandemic inspired them to take their hobby to the next level, and they began offering their cocktail jellies at socially distanced events.
Their jellies are made with silver-strength sheet gelatin, which is available online and at specialty baking stores. The duo advises using this type of gelatin for the best results. They also provide a starter kit on their website, which includes the necessary tools and ingredients to get started.
A Recipe to Try
One of their recipes, the Nonalcoholic Cherry Lime Rickey Jellies, is perfect for kids and adults alike. The recipe requires just a few hours to set and can be made ahead of time. The jellies are made with fresh lime juice, granulated sugar, water, and tart cherry juice, giving them a unique and refreshing flavor.
