Granny's Shrimp Cocktail

You've probably noticed that some of my favorite recipes are from my mom.  During the holidays my mom made a lot of delicious food and loved to entertain.  So when the holidays come around I long for the wonderful foods she used to make.  This is a tasty appetizer she would make throughout the holidays.  These are even the glasses she would use.  (I miss her.)  You actually drink it and no utensils are needed which makes it convenient when guests are socializing and not sitting down.  It is easy to make and since you make it a day ahead, it is a perfect recipe for entertaining.  Oh, and it's not even loaded with fat.  Enjoy!
