Notes

Creative variations: top with whipped cream, candy bits, or edible glitter.

If doubling the recipe, use 6‑oz gelatin box plus 2 cups boiling water and 2 cups alcohol.

For stronger or more flavorful spirits (e.g., tequila for a margarita twist), you can substitute accordingly.

Use flavored vodka or fruit-infused alcohol to enhance the flavor.
