Jello shot

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

A jello shot, or Jell-O shot, is a gelatin and alcohol mixture consumed as a shot, commonly made with vodka or other hard liquors. Versions made with non branded or unflavored gelatin rather than Jell-O brand gelatin are sometimes called jelly shots or gelatin shots, particularly outside North America where jello is not the prevailing term.

Quote
The San Francisco Chronicle claims to have published the first recipe for a jello shot; in 1902 the newspaper published a recipe for a "wine jelly" made with lemon Jell-O, orange slices, and sherry.
