The preparation of gelatin-based alcoholic confections utilizing disposable syringes as both a mold and delivery mechanism has gained popularity. This involves combining gelatin, liquid (typically water or juice), and alcohol, then allowing the mixture to solidify within a syringe. The resultant solid can then be ejected from the syringe for consumption. As an example, a basic recipe entails mixing flavored gelatin powder with boiling water, adding cold vodka, and then filling syringes with the mixture before refrigeration.
The appeal of this method lies in its novelty and ease of consumption, making it a popular choice for parties and gatherings. Its visual presentation can be customized with different gelatin flavors and colors. Though a relatively recent trend, its widespread adoption suggests a sustained interest in creative and portable alcoholic treats. The control over portion size is also a contributing factor to its appeal.
