Jello Shots Skewers
Ingredients
- 4 ounces flavored gelatin (each flavor for a different color) (Choose flavors that complement tequila, such as strawberry, lime, mango, or pineapple.)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup Hacienda de Tepa Tequila
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 unflavored gelatin (optional)
- Small skewer sticks
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the flavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften (called "blooming").
- Pour the boiling water over the softened gelatin and whisk until completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of Hacienda de Tepa tequila.
- Pour the flavored gelatin mixture into a shallow dish or small container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Repeat this process for each flavored gelatin you're using.
- Cut each flavored gelatin layer into small cubes.
- Arrange the cubes in a pattern on a plate or cutting board. You can create stripes, a rainbow pattern, or any design you like.
- If using fruit, intersperse the fruit pieces with the jello cubes as you build your skewer.
- Using a skewer, carefully pierce through the bottom of each cube, sliding them together in your chosen pattern.
Prepare each gelatin flavor separately
Assemble the skewers (once all gelatin layers are set):
Note
TIPS:
- To make the jello set firmer, you can add an optional packet of unflavored gelatin to each flavored gelatin mixture before adding the boiling water.
- For an extra pop of color, you can tint the unflavored gelatin with a few drops of food coloring before adding it to the flavored gelatin mixture.
- To prevent the jello from drying out, assemble the skewers just before serving and keep them chilled until ready to enjoy.
