Detailed description
Jello Shot Master Base is a jello and gelatin shots built around vodka. The party-table workhorse, built for volume the same way a giant collection is built one piece at a time.
The build centers on 1 oz flavored gelatin mixture and 1/2 oz vodka. In the glass, soft, wobbly, and fruit-forward, it lands like boozy candy with a chilled sweetness that keeps the vodka tucked neatly underneath.
It comes together in 2 hours plus chilling and is served in a standard shot glass. Make the batch ahead of time so it fully sets before serving, and keep the portions small and clean.
