Vodka Jelly Shots!

Jelly Shots

Makes 40

 

Ingredients

Packet of Aeroplane Jelly x 2 - whatever flavour you like

250ml x 2 of boiling water

100ml x 2 of cold water

100ml x 2 of alcohol of your choice - rum / vodka / etc

Cooking spray - optional

Plastic shot glasses - I found mine in a Discount Store $2.50 for a pack of 20

 

Method

Empty jelly packet mix into a bowl and add 250ml of boiling water and stir well until dissolved.

Then add 200ml of the cold water / alcohol mix and stir in - For the Raspberry Vodka I did a half and half mix so 100ml of water and 100ml of vodka. For the other batch Lime Rum I made stronger with 80ml of water and 120ml of rum. Both set the same but the rum ones did taste stronger.

Pour the mix into a jug and then pour into each cup and fill almost to the top place in fridge and once set they are ready to serve. 

*You can spray the shot glasses with spray on oil to prevent sticking... otherwise serve with a toothpick decorated with a peice of fruit so people can easily remove it.
