Solid Wiggles' Boozy Espresso Martini Jelly Cake, now available on Goldbelly, serves up a deliciously different way to savor a classic coffee cocktail. This edible cocktail in the form of a 5% ABV jelly cake is made with Ketel One Vodka, cold brew coffee, plus Mr. Black, and Ramazzotti Amaro, and serves eight to 10. Due to the hand-crafted nature of the dessert, each one is unique and truly a work of art in its own right.
Gelatin desserts were once a staple of dinner parties and family gatherings as colorful, wobbly centerpieces that felt both festive and impressive. After decades of being dismissed as kitschy relics of a bygone era, jelly cakes are making a comeback as elegant, refined creations that honor the nostalgia while leaving out questionable infusions.
