A friend recently sent me a recipe for a Lava Lamp cocktail - looks deeeeelish! It's simple and I'm sure gets the damned job done if you're lookin' for a lovely buzz! It's just champers and Jell-O - the kind ya make with voddie for Jell-O shots. So ya make the voddie laced Jell-O and then ya mash it up and dump into a glass of champers and it looks like a lava lamp.
I have GOT to try this!

I'm really intrigued by this, but a couple of your terms mystify me..can someone explain what "champers" is, and are we talking the powdered jello mix from the grocery store, or just what exactly? And what is this "mash-up" thing. Sorry for all the questions!
I'm not, as my avatar might suggest, pretentious. I'll try any booze once.

Re: Lava Lamp cocktail
Champers = champagne. And yup - the powered stuff - cuz ya have to mix in the vodka. I guess ya could just use the already made stuff - but then ya lose the kick in the chiclets the voddie provides and well, seriously, what are we hoochin' for?Irissa wrote:NYDingbat wrote:A friend recently sent me a recipe for a Lava Lamp cocktail - looks deeeeelish!

Alright, I'll bite. Can you post the recipe? If I am really lucky, I'll even take pics and post em, when I get around to doing this.

Re: Lava Lamp cocktail
Could well be trying this as I've had a bottle of champers lying around for ever. Was thinking of maybe modifying and using Bucks Fizz with an Orange or Peach Jelly but not sure if this will spoil the visual.
Also any recommendation on how much to mash it up? Is it a cash of leaving large pieces or completely smashing it to small bits?

Basically you make a normal Jell-0 Shooter, once it's solid, give it a good smashing up into smaller bits, say with a fork or spoon.NYDingbat » Sat Jul 05, 2008 6:05 pm

Avoid going all Gallagher on it as it will be a mess to clean up.
Take the Jell-O Shooter bits and add them to a glass of Champange. The visual affect is like an old lava lamp.
