Jello pitch-man Bill Cosby may not approve, but gelatin-shots aren't just for college kids anymore.

Sharon L. Calhoon is the co-author of a new recipe book all about gelatin shots titled "Jiggelo." Jello shooters aren't just for college kids. Serious connoisseurs will enjoy the "Panda Antics," which contains green tea, sake, gelatin and a gummy bear for decoration.

Other boozehounds may prefer the "Cradle" -- an African-inspired shot containing pineapple gelatin, peanut butter, rum and Tabasco Sauce.

Calhoon's son came up with the recipes, and not all go down smoothly. One drink that leaves some boozehounds sour is the "Haze," which uses ouzo, Everclear and cherry gelatin. But, in her words, "Sometimes you want a nasty jiggelo."

This story reminds me of when I lived in Chicago and I took my mom to a restaurant/bar called the "Mashed Potato Club." It was a fun, crazy place that had hundreds of--you guessed it--mashed potatos on the menu, and had a drag show every night. Anyway, the waiters bring around jello shots for everyone during the show. They brought some for my mom and me. I downed mine. Mom, not knowing what the hell to do with it, got a spoon and actually started eating it like a jello cup. I started laughing and showed her how it was done.
