Jena Derman and Jack Schramm of Solid Wiggles in Brooklyn, New York, have reimagined the nostalgic Jell-O shot. Unlike the saccharine shots of your youth, these cocktail jellies are naturally flavoured with fresh ingredients, and hand-crafted into works of edible art.

Learn how to make 45 of your own bite-sized, delectable, and eye-catching jellies, with clear explanations for tools, prepping, and working with gelatin (easier than you think!). Your solid wiggles stay fresh for up to five weeks in the fridge, and can even be made without alcohol; a dazzling treat for all.

The book is divided into two sections: Party Animals, for beginners, offers recipes that can be made in two hours or less (including chilling time!). The second chapter, Party Pros, includes layered recipes with whimsical designs, ranging from afternoon endeavours 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.
