Blueberry Martini Jello Shots Recipe 44

Steps:

• Cut the blueberries in half and place them in the shaker.
• Quickly muddle the berries.
• Add the remaining ingredients and fill shaker with ice.
• Shake vigorously to bombard the blueberries with the ice to release their flavor and color.
• Strain through a sieve into the cocktail glass.
• Place four or five blueberries on cocktail stick across the glass.

Steps:

• Combine the seltzer water and olive juice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and leave it to bloom for 5 minutes.
• Microwave the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Stir in the vodka or gin and dry vermouth. Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce glasses and place an olive in each glass. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate ice cream, chocolate liqueur, 1/4 cup vodka, and 1/4 cup water. Add one envelope unflavored gelatin, stirring constantly until fully dissolved, about 4 minutes. Pour into an 8 by 4-inch loaf pan and chill until set, about 1 hour.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the vanilla ice cream, vanilla liqueur, 1/4 cup vodka, and 1/4 cup water. Add one envelope unflavored gelatin, stirring constantly until fully dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Pour the slightly cooled mixture over the chocolate layer and chill until set, about 30 minutes.
• Repeat this process with the strawberry ice cream, strawberry schnapps, remaining 1/4 cup vodka, 1/4 cup water, and envelope of gelatin. Heating for 4 minutes, stirring until dissolved, then pouring it over the vanilla layer once cooled. Chill until set completely.
• To serve, cut into 1 by 1-inch squares.

Steps:

• 1. Off heat, combine the vodka and simple syrup in a small saucepan. Add gelatin powder to the vodka mixture. 2. Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved and incorporated into the vodka mixture, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. 3. Place a few blueberries in the bottom of each individual ice cube mold, and carefully pour the vodka mixture into each. Refrigerate the ice cube tray until set, preferably overnight. These cocktails will keep, refrigerated, for as long as 2 days. *To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, and stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Steps:

• Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Smash blueberries. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until blueberry preserves have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• To make the blueberry vodka: Pour out approximately 1/3 of the bottle of vodka into a holding container; set aside. Score each blueberry with a small nick and place into vodka bottle. With the vodka previously set aside, fill the vodka bottle until just below the neck. Add just enough raspberry liqueur to top off the bottle. Let sit in a dark place for 2 weeks.
• To make martinis: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 parts blueberry vodka, 1 part raspberry liqueur, and a dash of lime juice. Shake vigorously and strain into glass. Garnish with twist of lime zest.

Steps:

• In a shaker over ice, combine the liquors. Shake to mix and chill.
• Pour into a chilled martini glass.
• Drop a couple of blueberries into the glass and serve!
