“These kitsch cubes of festive flavour are a fun-packed way to kick off a New Year’s Eve party or any other celebration,” says recipe writer and food stylist Kate Calder, who created our Gin Jelly Shots. “These are made with cherry brandy and gin, but they’re also delicious with sloe gin and apricot brandy.” Best of all, you can make them ahead and store them chilled, so they’re ready to whip out when your guests arrive. This recipe makes around 20 jelly shots. Looking for more dessert recipes? Look no further.Time and servings
