I have introduced my downtown PNW city dive to malort, got my distributor to pick it up, and most people love/hate malort. We usually have rows of 6 different flavors of jello shots. Whatevs, they sell. We’ve been joking for 3 years now for April fools day doing malort, unflavored, food coloring shots and sneaking them into the actual peach/lime/orange/whatevs. I finally brought it unflavored gelatin and made the malort jello shots. Tonight is a test run.
The unflavored gelatin is great for making stronger alcoholic jello shots. Also for a bit firmer lime/orange wedge jello shots for presentation.
If you use the sweet jello mix with too much hard alcohol they tend not to set well, so its handy to add some unflavored gelatin for some shot-strength jello shots, especially if you’re adding some homemade syrups or juice to balance it.
Maybe you could add elderflower syrup next time to balance it a bit.
I kinda wanna make some frenet jello shots now.
