Stoli Jelly Cosmo Shot

By rossboys

These are very fun jello shots with a maraschino cherry in each, and the stem sticking out to pick it up by.

Ingredients

• GELATIN:
• 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin, about 2 tablespoons
• 1/2 cup Stoli Vodka
• 1/4 cup Cointreau
• 3/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail, heated to boiling
• CHERRY SUGAR:
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 maraschino cherries

Preparation

Step 1

GELATIN:

In a large bowl, mix the gelatin, vodka, and Cointreau. Let stand 1 minute. Add the hot cranberry juice and stir until gelatin completely dissolves. Pour into ice molds and refrigerate until firm for about 3 hours.

CHERRY SUGAR:

Blend sugar with cherries in a small food processor. Pour out on to a plate and let it dry for few hours. Blend it again until you get red crystals. White sugar will become more pinkish and brown sugar will become more reddish.

To serve, I garnish each shot with the cherry sugar. By itself this is a serious and strong shot! For more fun, I really like it coated with cherry sugar. I made some and incorporated a maraschino cherry, by dropping a cherry into each jelly cube before refrigeration.
