Jalapeno Jelly Tequila Shots Recipes

Steps:

• Cut a hole in the watermelon large enough for the tequila bottle's neck. Insert the tequila bottle upside down. Refrigerate and let the liquor soak into the watermelon's flesh overnight.
• Cube the melon, and skewer each cube with a wedge of lime sprinkled with salt.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, bitters, cherry juice and 2/3 cup regular water in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the seltzer water to the syrup mixture, 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 rye whisky, sweet vermouth and 1 teaspoon of the orange zest. Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce glasses and place a cherry in each glass. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
• Before serving, garnish each shot with some of the remaining orange zest.

Steps:

• Add jalapenos to bottle of tequila and store at room temperature for a minimum of 16 hours.
• Strain tequila with a fine mesh strainer into another container. Pour the strained, infused tequila back into the bottle.
