"Has there ever been a party that couldn't be improved with Jell-O shots? Even if you're way past your early twenties these little slurps of fun will always be welcome. But if you want to make sure these are the best Jell-O shots ever, all you need are some pitted maraschino cherries with stalks to up your Jell-O shot game and give party goers an experience they won't soon forget. Unless they have too many Jell-O shots."
"The key to this recipe is to use cherries that have a stem attached. You're going to be using that stem as a little handle. You could serve these in tiny plastic cups, or advance to the head of the class by prepping a tray with evenly spaced cherries inside and then covering them with liquid Jell-O. After the Jell-O sets, the idea is to cut it into perfect cubes, each with a cherry inside but that can be picked up by the stem."
"You can prepare these just like you would any other Jell-O shots. All you really need to do is make sure the cherry is upright and the fruity part is covered completely with the Jell-O, leaving enough stem sticking out that it can be held on to. Obviously cherry is a great flavor to use for the Jell-O itself, but contrasting flavors also work. Lime, for instance, or orange."
Use pitted maraschino cherries with stems to embed inside Jell-O so each cube can be picked up by the stem. Arrange cherries upright in a tray, pour liquid Jell-O to fully cover the fruit while leaving stems exposed, and cut into even cubes after setting. Ensure the cherries remain upright so the fruity part is fully submerged and enough stem sticks out for handling. Cherry gelatin pairs naturally, and contrasting flavors such as lime or orange provide interesting combinations. Swap artificial mixes for unflavored gelatin and custom juices like lychee to create clear, sophisticated, artisanal shots.
