Author Notes
While horror movies like the new Oscar nominee, The Substance, might not be your thing, here is a recipe for vibrantly green, substance-inspired Midori sour shots to liven up your Oscar’s watch party. They’re no less complicated to make than any other jello shot, but are definitely all there in flavor. Disclosure, the flavor was inspired by the Midori Sour jello shots by Solid Wiggles, a business that takes jello shots to a whole new level.
