Martini Jelly Shots Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 8-by-8-inch baking dish with plastic wrap so there is a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• Whisk together the coffee and sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Vigorously whisk in 2 packets of gelatin until dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared pan. Use a spoon to scrape off any foam from the top. Refrigerate, uncovered, until firm, about 1 hour. Use a wooden skewer to poke several holes into the gelatin. (This will help the two layers stick together.)
• Microwave 1 cup of the liqueur in liquid measuring cup on high until hot, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 3 packets of gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Add the remaining liqueur and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture over the set coffee gelatin and chill until completely firm, about 2 hours.
• Gently lift the gelatin out of the pan using the plastic wrap to help you. Cut into 36 squares. (You could also use a small shamrock cookie cutter.)
• Pipe small dollops of whipped cream on top of each jelly shot and top each with an espresso bean. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

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:

• Place 1/4 cup jelly beans in a small bowl and pour vodka over the top. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• Fill a shaker with ice. Shake bowl with chilled jelly beans and vodka, pour mixture through a strainer into shaker, and discard jelly beans. Pour orange liqueur and creme de cacao into shaker and stir. Strain vodka mixture into 2 chilled martini glasses. Drop 1 white jelly bean and 1 red jelly bean into the bottom of each glass and place 1 lemon slice on each rim.

Steps:

• One hour before serving, place 2 martini glasses in refrigerator. In small bowl, pour vodka over 1/4 cup jelly beans. Cover; refrigerate.
• At serving time, fill martini shaker with ice. Shake bowl with cold vodka and jelly beans. Strain vodka into shaker; discard jelly beans. Add liqueur; shake well. Strain into 2 chilled martini glasses. To garnish, add 3 jelly beans to bottom of each glass. Garnish each with lemon slice. Serve immediately.
