What could be more fun than shimmering cubes of juiced-up gelatin? Party Shots explores the creative possibilities of this compact cocktail, a trend that's making an appearance even in upscale restaurants and bars. Innovative and often outrageous, these spirited shots go way beyond the basic lime gelatin and vodka combo. This colorful little book of lip-smacking libations offers twisted takes on old classics, such as the Atomic Tonic and the coconut-scented Pia Gelata, as well as crazy new concoctions infused with exotic liqueurs and even Champagne. Silly, sassy, and packed with easy ways to liven up any gathering, Party Shots is sure to induce a conversational buzz.
This is a fun and inspirational book. The author starts out with information on gelatin and takes off from there.Adding tips on solid nibbles to add to the shots. I have tried some of the recipes, and it has inspired me to make up some of my own. The book itself is laid out nicely with cutesy pictures strewn through out.It is easy to read and even has a feature called fear factor that deals with non-toxic creepy crawlies from the animal kingdom i.e crickets. insect eggs and caviar etc etc... Some shots are quick to assemble, other require a bit more time and a steady hand. The challenging aspect to this book is all the ingredients one needs to have for many of these, it could get quite pricey, but many ingredients- with the exception of the gelatin can be substituted. Cheers!
A hoot!
