Ingredients

  • 1 cup root beer
  • 2 envelopes plain gelatin
  • 2/3 cup root beer flavored vodka
  • 2 tablespoon Sambuca
  • Wooden coffee stirrers, for garnish, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

Recommended Pan: Standard Loaf Pan (approximately 8” x 4”), or flexible silicone mold (link to mold I used: http://www.bakedeco.com/detail.asp?id=7601&catid=813)

2. If using a flexible silicone mold, prepare the mold by spraying lightly with cooking spray, and then wiping the cavities clean with a paper towel. This will result in a very slight residue which will help unmold the jelly shots without affecting their taste or appearance. If setting in a pan, no prep is needed!

3. Pour root beer into a saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat

4. Stir in the vodka and Sambuca. Pour into pan or molds, and chill until set, several hours or overnight.

5. To serve, cut or unmold the jelly shots. Cut the wooden coffee stirrers into lengths of about 2 inches. Insert a segment into each jelly shot.
