Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 envelopes Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1.5 cups Hot water
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Fresh lime juice
- 1 cups White rum
- 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 0.5 cups Cold water
- 2 drops Optional: Green food coloring
- 10 pieces Lime slices or mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the cold water into a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface of the water to allow it to bloom. Let this sit for 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, heat the hot water until steaming but not boiling. Add granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the hot water, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Stir in the fresh lime juice, white rum, lime zest, and a couple of drops of green food coloring (if desired) for a vibrant mojito color.
Roll the fresh mint leaves in your hands to release their aroma, then add them to the mixture. Let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring cup or bowl with a spout to remove the mint leaves.
Pour the liquid evenly into small shot glass molds or plastic cups, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.
Transfer the molds or cups to the refrigerator. Let chill for at least 2-4 hours, or until fully set.
Once the jello shots are set, garnish each with a small lime wedge or fresh mint leaf just before serving.
Serve cold and enjoy responsibly!
