Ouzo is a clear, transparent liquid, so the cocktails you make with it can have a wide range of colors....

My mind goes there, too, and it’s certainly a logical thought process to follow. However, gelatin doesn’t automatically equal Jell-O. The two aren’t the same thing. Not to sound too much like a science teacher, but the truth is quite logical: All Jell-O contains gelatin, but not all things containing gelatin are Jell-O. On this list, you’ll find plenty of recipes that use Jell-O. However, you’ll also see a few other non-Jell-O options, such as homemade marshmallows, cheesecake, and coffee jelly....
