Jello Shots - The Awesome Food

There's always room for J-E-L-L-O.

I was at a recent croquet tournament party at my best friends house in my old hometown. This party is done every year around the same time and it is very intense. There is a whole croquet tournament that begins at 12:00pm and ends around 7:00pm. After this tournament ends, there is a huge flip cup tournament that has been known to go well into the night. The competition is fierce, and everyone participates. The many times that we have done it, it usually comes down to guys VS. girls, and to this bloggers dismay, the girls usually prevail.

The drinking usually starts as the croquet tournament begins, and we are sitting in the sun, having fun trash talking people and enjoying the general atmosphere. There is always arguments, whether or not we should "send" a particular team, along with many debates on who is going to win the whole thing this year.

As the sun beats down on our necks, and the beer is flowing like the salmon of Capastrano, my best friends Aunt starts bringing out the one thing that everyone can enjoy. Jello shots.

the heart and hustle of the party


And I am not talking about your average Jello shots. I am talking elite Jello shots.

Sure, you might be thinking that Jello shots are so Freshman year of college. They are. But when you get a bunch of people together, mostly family, playing a traditional game that runs deep into the heart and hustle of the family, Jello shots are exactly what everyone needs.

She doesn't just make strawberry jello shots, orange jello shots, or lime jello shots. No no no. She makes margarita jello shots, orange slice jello shots, strawberry daiquiri jello shots, chocolate cake jello shots, island coconut jello shots, plus much more.

A hot day with major competition in a family that loves each other? Big WIN.

They are fantastic. They taste exactly what she describes them as, and they put the whole party - was right where it needs to be.

So if you are thinking about having an outdoor party with some fun flair - think Jello shots.

It will put you right where you need to be.

Cheers
