Blackberry Cosmopolitan Jelly Shots


Recommended Pan: Standard Loaf Pan (approximately 8” x 4”)

Ingredients:

1 cup white cranberry juice cocktail
¾ cup Blackberry brandy
1/8 cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed and strained
1/8 cup water
1/4 cup Cointreau
2 envelopes Knox gelatin (if using molds, add 1/2 envelope additional gelatin. 1/2 envelope equals about a teaspoon of gelatin powder.)
Optional, 1 drop purple food coloring (McCormick's makes one in its Neon Colors set)
Lime zest for garnish, if desired


Pour cranberry and lime juices 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. Stir in the liquors (and, if using, the food coloring), making sure to fully incorporate. Pour into pan, and chill until set, several hours or overnight.
To serve, cut into shapes (or unmold). Garnish with lime zest if desired. Makes 18 to 24 shots.
