Solid Wiggles

Gelatin shots are back! Jena Derman and Jack Schramm of Solid Wiggles in Brooklyn, New York, have reimagined the nostalgic Jell-O shot. Unlike the saccharine shots of our youths, these cocktail jellies are flavored with fresh, natural ingredients and hand-crafted into works of edible art. In Solid Wiggles, you will learn how to make 45 of your own bite-sized, delectable, and eye-catching jelly shots and cakes for any summer gathering or holiday soiree. Clear explanations for tools, prepping, and working with gelatin (easier than you think!) along with step-by-step decorating instructions, scaling, and alcohol-free variations will make you a jelly connoisseur in no time. The book is divided into two sections: Party Animals, for beginners, offers a range of recipes that are blended and can be made in two hours or less (including chilling time). Party Pros, for those who want more complex treats, includes layered recipes with whimsical design patterns that range from quick afternoon endeavors to delightful multi-day projects. Recipes for cocktail jellies and cakes include: Whiskey Sour, Lychee Martini, Non-Alcoholic Cherry Lime Rickey, Painkiller, Cosmo, Moscow Mule, Negroni Sbagliato, Non-Alcoholic Spicy Mango Margarita, and so much more.  Jellies stay fresh for up to five weeks in the fridge, making them great to prepare for upcoming parties or gatherings. With easy-to-use instructions and vibrant and whimsical step-by-step photographs, Solid Wiggles presents delicious wiggly recipes for every person and occasion.
