How To Perfect TikTok’s Jam Jar Cocktails
We got the scoop from the experts - plus lots of fun recipes to try!
Picture this: It’s late night and you’re scrolling social media. And then you see them: Jam Jar Cocktails. One after another start popping up on your feed. You think, “with a little booze and a few other additions, that almost empty bottle of jam not only won’t go to waste, but it will also offer up a sweet sipper.” And off you go to test out this new drink.
“This trend has caught on because it makes making a cocktail very approachable — no fancy equipment, ingredients, or technique is required. You don’t even need fancy glassware! Plus, it’s a great way to utilize the jam sitting in your fridge,” says Adhel Martinez, Las Californias Gin’s West Coast Brand Ambassador.
However, it’s not as basic as it looks. With a little imagination and some inventive flavor combinations, a jam jar cocktail can up the ante on basic at-home cocktailing with almost no effort at all. Alex Maynard, Fords Gin Brand Advocacy Manager, notes that this goes beyond basic blueberry or raspberry jam and extents into an entirely new and playful world.
