There are some things you are supposed to give up, when you become a bill-paying, job-having, degree-holding adult. Like sugary cereals with marshmallows for breakfast, catching the sunrise from the wrong side just because, wearing plastic earrings and glitter and miniskirts and going woo! a lot, and using "party" as a verb. While in fact party is not a verb and should not be used as such by anyone over 30, the rest strike me as very sad. But what if I want to keep doing Jell-O shots and saying woo?

Divine Caroline has the answer, and that is to make Jell-O shots for grownups--the kind you know and love and remember from college, except these are such an upgrade from the Dixie cups of yore. They are pretty and candy-like, festive and unmistakably delicious, the way Jell-O shots always are. They are also potent and deadly, the way Jell-O shots always should be. But because you are an adult, you will enjoy them responsibly. And go woo! a lot, I hope.
