Candy Cane Martini Jelly Shots


A festive vodka-based jelly shot featuring peppermint schnapps and white chocolate liqueur in a creamy base. 32 small jelly shots


For serving, garnish with crushed peppermint candies. For best results, be sure to add at the very last moment before serving, as contact with the gelatin can melt the candies over a long period.


Ingredients

10 each small peppermint candies, or candy canes, crushed, for garnish (if desired)

3 tbsp peppermint schnapps (or to taste - up to 4 tbsp may be added)

2 tbsp white chocolate liqueur (or white creme de cacao)

3/4 cup vanilla vodka

2 envelopes plain gelatin

1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

2/3 cup water


Directions

Recommended pan: glass or non-reactive metal standard 1 lb loaf pan

Pour water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes). Stir in sweetened condensed milk. Remove from heat.

Add the vodka, liqueur and schnapps, stirring well to incorporate. Pour into pan and refrigerate until fully set, several hours or overnight.

To serve, cut into 1 inch squares.

Immediately before serving, garnish with crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
