In lieu of mystery blue Jell-O shots in disposable cups, Solid Wiggles proposes more elaborate creations: say, a mango mezcal margarita jelly shot, complete with chile de
árbol; or an aperitivo spritz jelly. It offers a lychee martini shot, a Hennessy colada shot, and an espresso martini jelly shot
that looks like a glass tortoiseshell objet d’art — and these are just a few of its many wiggly offerings.
Solid Wiggles has experienced significant growth since its founding in 2020, when co-founder and pastry chef Jena Derman made the first batch as an experimental treat for a friend’s birthday. Currently, the team’s booze-filled jellies (there are nonalcoholic versions, too) can be found in
bars and restaurants across New York City such as
Shy Shy,
Milady’s,
Bad Roman, and over a dozen other locations.
