Watermelon Rose Jello Shots

While this recipe is definitely not for the grill, it is a great recipe for adult enjoyment for your summer cookout or gathering. Created for celebration of National Eat Your Jello Day on July 12^th.

Yield: 12-14 shots
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Additional Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup watermelon juice
• 1 1/2 cups Rosé wine
• 1 packet knox gelatin
• chopped fresh mint leaves for garnish
• optional: 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup sugar or monk fruit sweetener

Directions

1. Add watermelon juice to a small saucepan and bring to just a boil. (if using sugar add it to this step so it dissolves in the hot juice)
2. As the juice heats up: add wine to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top to let it bloom for at least a minute before adding juice.
3. Pour hot watermelon juice over wine and mix well. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, a few minutes at least.
4. Divided shots into 2 ounce shot cups.
5. Sprinkle chopped mint leaves into the shots. (optional)
6. Transfer shots to fridge to set, about two hours.

Notes

Adding the sugar is recommended if you prefer a sweeter shot as neither the rosé or the cooked watermelon juice tend to be very sweet.
