Forget vodka jelly, sambuca jelly rocks

Made some sambuca jelly for a party over the weekend. Absolutely lovely stuff! Highly recommended! I've only had Sambuka once, and it was flaming shots, rather than in jelly ... and I was so floored (literally) that I can't remember for the life of me what it tasted like, hehe. Indeed it took me a few years to actually remember I'd even drunk any Sambuka.

I was barred from a pub and chased by a landlord for accidently killing a coy carp once. Becuase of sambuca..

You weren't drunk and hungry were you? -- -------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ---------- I've only had Sambuka once, and it was flaming shots, rather than in jelly ... and I was so floored (literally) that I can't remember for the life of me what it tasted like, hehe.

Follow the quantities except change 50% of the water to sambuca. Voila! I recon you could probably go to about 60% too, given how well 50/50 set! ps: Put it in very large silicon moulds. Far easier to get it out again! Worse case just set it in small bowls or something.

Flaming sambuca, dead coy carp..? Hmmmm! You weren't drunk and hungry were you? Not flaming, just a staff night out when i worked with tesco many a year ago, best night to make an arse of yourself btw, and me and my best mate finished a full bottle of sambuca between us before we got to the pub, carried on drinking and i kinda threw up in the pond in the beer garden. Next thing i know the big bastard landlord is chasing me down the street with a bat and demanding £1000 for his prize fish Never forget that night

I had a jelly vodka shot once ... bit of a faff to be honest. The stuff refused to slide out of the container and down my gullet ... it was like dislodging a chunk of chicken from between teeth at the back of your mouth or something. Not much of a drinker though to be honest ... my tolerance was never high, and over the years it's gone down ... halved even. I like a buzz, but I don't ultimately enjoy being drunk (I've seen photos and footage of my drunken antics and it's cringe-inducing in the cold light of day ... ... but admittedly fun for an hour or so during the actual booze-fest) ... ... however the inevitable nausea and even vom-sesh isn't at all enjoyable.

Jello shots are great fun, haven't had any in a dog's age. I never ever would have considered sambuca, but maybe I'll give it a shot if I ever get the chance.

As I asid above:- Get some clear gelatine and some sambuca. Follow the quantities except change 50% of the water to sambuca. Voila! I recon you could probably go to about 60% too, given how well 50/50 set! I just used this stuff which came in handy sachets for 1pint of liquid/jelly.

I was lost on this thread until you said jello. I was like WTF would someone make jelly out of vodka?!?!? And how?!?!? Would it actually taste good with peanut butter?!?!? Grodie to the max. Still, not a fan of jello shots either. If I'm going to throw anything up, it better be nothing but hard liquor and stomach acid coming back at me. I don't want to retaste the rainbow, if you know what I mean...
