Imagine my delight when my mom gave me the Jelly Shot Test Kitchen cookbook…An entire cookbook…dedicated to Jello Shots! And not just your average JELL-O shots made in a frat kitchen the day before an AM football game…but CLASSY ones.
Classy Jello Shots = anything from the cookbook or the awesome Jelly Shot Test Kitchen Blog. The first recipe I made involved fresh orange and grapefruit juice. Cool, crisp, refreshing…perfect for a summer brunch, or anytime really.
I cannot wait to share more from this cookbook with you! There are so many more clever and fun recipes, and you know a party is elevated to an entire new level of fun when someone shows up with Jello Shots.
Recipe
Greyhound Jelly Shots
Adapted from The Jelly Shot Test Kitchen Cookbook
- 1 1/3 cups grapefruit juice
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp agave nectar, plus additional, if desired
- 2 1/2 envelopes Knox gelatin
- 2/3 cup Vodka
Combine both juices and agave nectar in a medium saucepan and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow the gelatin to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the vodka, stirring well to blend. Taste and add more agave, if desired. Pour mixture into a loaf pan and refrigerate until fully set, several hours to overnight.
To serve, cut into desired shapes. Makes 18 – 24 jelly shots.
I actually see your face in my head when people say the words “jello shot” LOL. Love this! I’m trying it, and thinking I should bring some to you in the relaxation station!
Really refreshing and delicious! Good anytime!
Oh I cannot WAIT to make these! The greyhound is my favorite drink and I never ever imagined it as a jello shot. Thanks for the recipe!
