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.

    I love this and would definitely try one. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

    How much of the malort flavor comes through and lingers?

      Idk yet. Made em right before I left for the night. Don’t work today but intend to go in just to see if they set properly. Will report back on how gross they are in 5 hours or so.

          God awful. I’ve never used unflavored gelatin before, and it is supposed to be treated differently than box jello. They came out super rubbery and thick. You would have to chew for a good 20 seconds just to be able to attempt to swallow. The flavor was even more bitter than regular malort some how. 1/10

          I’m going to play around with it some more when we get malort back in stock.

            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.

    As it says in the sidebar - if it’s even tangentially related to cocktails it’s allowed. And oh my God. Please let us know if these sell. I wouldn’t do this even for Halloween.
