Mojito Jello Shot Recipe
What’s in a Mojito Jello Shot?
- Sugar
- Water
- Knox Unflavored Gelatin
- Mint Leaves
- Lime Juice & Lime Wedges
- White Rum
You’ll also need 2-oz. plastic Jello shot cups, a saucepan, wooden spoon, and a mixing bowl.
What is Mojito Flavor? Are Mojitos Sweet?
Traditionally, a mojito has a refreshingly tart (but not sour) minty-lime flavor with just a hint of sweetness from the sugar. It’s a fresh combination of citrus, mint, and rum that is perfect for a hot summer day! These mojito jello shots perfectly mimic the flavors of a traditional mojito in a fun party-ready portable package!
To make mojito jello shots, you will need to begin with a simple syrup made from sugar and water. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the mixture to get hot but not boiling!
Pour the contents of 3 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into the saucepan and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, add the lime juice and mint leaves. With a muddler or wooden spoon, muddle the mint leaves slightly. Add the hot gelatin mixture and cover the bowl for 10 minutes to steep the mint leaves.
Once the mint has steeped, remove the mint leaves from the mixture.
Add the rum, and stir well to incorporate.
Place the plastic Jello shot cups on a baking sheet, and carefully pour the mixture into each cup, filling them almost to the top of each rim. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Before serving, add a lime wedge and mint leaf to garnish each mojito Jello shot.
Cheers! Aren’t these the cutest? Perfectly portable for all of your party needs!
These cool mojito jello shots are so refreshing after a long hot day!
