WATERMELON MOJITO JELL-O SHOTS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, puree enough watermelon to get 1 cup of juice. (The water content is so high in watermelon it's very easy to get that much juice) I used half of a small watermelon. Strain the watermelon puree so you get out all the seeds. Pour the watermelon juice in a saucepan (no heat yet). Sprinkle on two packets of Knox gelatin. Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk it until it's combined. Turn on the stove-top to medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until combined. When simmering add one cup cold water. Pour your watermelon mixture into a 9×13 pan that has been lightly (very lightly) greased. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or so). Chop some fresh mint leaves. Pour 1 cup water into a saucepan (no heat yet) Sprinkle on two packets of Knox gelatin. Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk it until it's combined. Turn on the stove-top to medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until combined. When simmering add one cup cold white rum. Add your chopped mint into your rum mixture then pour into your 9×13 pan. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or so). With a cookie cutter of choice (I started with a square as you can see, but then decided on the triangle) slowly cut out your jello shots. Press down slowly and make sure you don't have any mint leaves caught on the cutter when you move on to the next.

WATERMELON MINT GELATIN SHOTS

Steps:

• Scoop out the flesh from the watermelon halves with a spoon or ice cream scoop to yield 2 to 3 cups. (Depending on the size, you may not need the flesh from the second half.) Transfer to a blender. Add the mint and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl.
• Pour 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of the juice into a small saucepan. (Use less liquid for a firmer shot or if you plan to set them out for a long period of time). Add the lime juice and honey, and stir. Sprinkle with the gelatin packets. Allow the gelatin to soak in for a minute or two then heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the vodka or gin and pour into the watermelon rinds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Slice into wedges, garnish with mint leaves, and serve!
