Cosmopolitan Jelly Shots!

It has been a while since my last post because I am officially on holidays! I am currently exploring the wonderful city of Melbourne. There has been one thing that has caught my eye- cosmo jelly shots! Amazing! Here is the recipe - perfect for any event! 

Ingredients: 


1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup orange flavored vodka
1/4 cup Roses lime juice (or fresh lime juice and a dash simple syrup or agave nectar)
1/4 cup Grand Marnier (substitute Cointreau or Triple Sec for a milder tasting jelly shot)
2 ½ envelopes plain Knox gelatin (1/2 envelope equals ¾ teaspoon)
Lime zest for garnish, if desired

How to..

In a saucepan, sprinkle cranberry and lime juices with gelatin. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Stir in the liquors, making sure to fully incorporate. Pour into pan or molds, and chill until set, several hours or overnight. .

To serve, cut into desired shapes.  Garnish with the lime zest. Makes 18 to 24 shots.
