We’ve taken the classic Old Fashioned cocktail and turned it into
Old Fashioned Jello Shots.
Our CHAMPAGNE JELLO SHOTS are always popular during the holidays so we thought why not take one of our favorite cocktails, an Old Fashioned, and turn them into a jello shot as well. They’re fun and festive PLUS you can make them well in advance of your event. Want options? Make them plain, with a little SPARKLE, with a smidge of Luxardo cherry juice in the bottom (my personal favorite) or add a Luxardo cherry.
