Preparation

Step 1

Squeeze 1-2 limes to get your lime juice and add that to a small saucepan with your ginger beer. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin on top of the liquid (don't stir). Allow the gelatin to sit for 5 minutes. The gelatin will turn into a rubbery film on top. Turn the burner on to low-medium heat and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Be careful not to let it boil!

Use cooking spray or oil to lightly grease a silicon ice cube tray (wipe up any excess with a paper towel). Pour the vodka into a glass measuring cup or other container with a spout, add in the lime/ginger beer liquid, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the ice cube tray and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours until set.

Push your jello cubes out from the bottom side of the tray (slide a knife around the edges as needed), and you're ready to serve! I love the cubes presented in Moscow Mule copper cups, so I would suggest that as a serving vessel if you have them (or it's just another excuse to buy some if you don't!). Isn't that such a pretty copper cup? I like my regular Moscow Mules a little more on the lime side, so adjust the lime quantity by using more ginger beer if you're not as into lime. I know it's hard to wait the long hours until your jello shots have set in the fridge, but don't despair! You have all the ingredients to make a liquid version of the cocktail right in front of you while you wait for the jello version to be ready. Cheers!
