For one of those days, when you're thinking "whew, a nice, cool drink would be good right now," but you don't feel like pulling out mixers and liquor and shot glasses and ice. The solution: these yummy little Jello shots!
Not that I've invented them, but they are new to me! And believe it or not, I found the recipe in Cooking Light (July 2013). Not exactly the way I made them, but that was my starting point. CL has Lemony Blackberry-Vodka Gelees. But my grocery store didn't have unflavored gelatin and I didn't feel like cooking and straining blackberries and waiting 6 hours; although I'm sure their version is delicious and looks real pretty.
I made them before dinner and they were ready as a nice little after-dinner treat. And wouldn't they be fun as a cook-out dessert? I made it in a baking dishes, then cut into squares; I think next time, I'm going to make them in little shot glasses or dessert bowls. Try them out, let me know how you like them - or if you have your own version!
