Manhattan Jelly Shots Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the vodka, water and gelatin. Pour the mixture into the watermelon half. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours.
• Slice into wedges and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Pour the lemonade into a small saucepan. Add the sugar if using (depending on how sweet the lemonade is, you can choose to add sugar to make the shots sweeter). Sprinkle with the gelatin and allow it to soak for a minute or two. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin have completely dissolved.
• Combine the lemonade mixture with the beer and vodka in a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout.
• Put 16 clear plastic 1-ounce shot glasses on a baking sheet. Pour the lemonade mixture into the glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. (You should have 1/2 to 3/4 cup liquid remaining in the measuring cup.) Refrigerate the shots until just lightly set, 30 to 60 minutes. Leave the remaining lemonade mixture out at room temperature.
• To create the foam: Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut cream to the remaining lemonade mixture. With the whisk attachment on an immersion blender or hand mixer, whisk the mixture until foamy. Spoon into the tops of the lightly set shots and refrigerate another 2 to 3 hours. If the foam starts to get thin, add another tablespoon of the coconut cream to the remaining lemonade mixture and repeat the process.

Steps:

• Combine milk and pudding mix in a bowl and whisk or mix until smooth.
• Add rum, lime juice, and pineapple, and stir well.
• Fold in whipped topping. Once the mixture is smooth and uniform, divide it among 8 small cups.
• Place the cups in the refrigerator until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes.
• Garnish them with pineapple wedges and lime slices, if using. Enjoy with a spoon!

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:

• Put a medium bowl in the freezer to chill.
• Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over 1 cup cold water in a medium saucepan. Let sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Stir the mixture, and add the mint leaves and granulated sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar and gelatin are dissolved completely, about 5 minutes (don't let the mixture come to a boil). Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl placed over an ice bath, pressing the mint with the back of a spoon to extract all the juices. Stir in the bourbon, and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
• Place sixteen 1-ounce disposable plastic or paper cups on a small rimmed sheet pan. Put 1 medium mint leaf into each glass. Divide the gelatin mixture evenly among the glasses, totally submerging the mint leaves (they will float to the top). Refrigerate the shots until completely set, about 3 hours. (These can be done a day ahead.)
• Pour the cream and confectioners' sugar into the chilled bowl. Beat the mixture with a large whisk until medium peaks form. Gently fold in the liqueur with a rubber spatula. (This step can be done a day ahead; refrigerate the whipped cream in an airtight container.) Serve the shots cold, topped with whipped cream.
