Cranberry Sauce Shooters

These Festive Jell-O Shots are Perfect for Thanksgiving

'Bustle' recently put together a recipe for making festive Jell-O shots. With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, many people are looking for creative ways to prepare their holiday feast. This recipe puts a boozy spin on a classic Thanksgiving condiment.

The festive Jell-O shots are inspired by traditional cranberry sauce. To make the Thanksgiving shooters, you will need Cranberry juice, a can of cranberry sauce, cherry Jell-O and vodka. Although regular vodka will work, apple, ginger or orange-flavored spirits help enhance the cranberry flavor. Once the boozy Jell-O mixture has been prepared, you will need to refrigerate the shooters for several hours. Each shot can also be garnished with cranberries and rosemary for a festive touch.

The end result is a batch of boozy cranberry shooters, which provides the perfect accompaniment to any Thanksgiving meal.
