Ingredients:

* 1 box **blackberry Jell-O** (or black cherry if unavailable)

* 1 cup **boiling water**

* 1/2 cup **cold water**

* 1/2 cup **bourbon**

* 1/4 tsp **edible silver or charcoal-black luster dust** (aka *edible ash glitter*)

* Optional: Black sugar for rim or edible star glitter for a “night sky” effect

Directions:

1. **Dissolve the Darkness:**

* Mix the **blackberry Jell-O** with **1 cup boiling water** in a heat-safe bowl until fully dissolved.

2. **Bourbon & Chill:**

* Stir in **1/2 cup cold water** and **1/2 cup bourbon**.

3. **Add the Ash:**

* Whisk in the **edible ash glitter** until evenly swirled. It’ll create a smoky, iridescent sheen.

4. **Pour & Set:**

* Pour into shot cups or gothic-style silicone molds.

* Chill for **2–3 hours**, until firm.

5. **Optional Finish:**

* Rim shot cups with **black sugar** or dust tops with **edible star glitter** for a dramatic nightfall look.

Vibe Tips:

* Serve under low lighting with **UV or candle glow** for a post-apocalyptic feel.

* Pair with dry ice fog or dark slate serving trays to drive home the “end of the world” theme.

* For extra kick: soak a few **blackberries in bourbon** and drop one into each shot before setting.
