Gin & Tonic Jello Shots

To celebrate the start of the holidays over 25 of our staff participate in the almost annual pub crawl on Friday night.  It was a 10 hour long beverage sipping event after a day of work and it was SO.MUCH.FUN. I took it back old school and contributed 100 different flavoured jello shots and they were a hit.  The fan favourite were the Gin and Tonic shooters. Here is the recipe I used. Enjoy!

Yield: About 15 shooters

Ingredients
1 box lime jello
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup boiling tonic water
2/3 cup gin
1/3 cup cold tonic water

Method
Measure out 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of Tonic. Pour the mixture into your pot and bring it to a boil. While the Water/Tonic mixture is heating up measure out 2/3 cup of gin and 1/3 cup cold tonic and set them aside. Once the tonic and water comes to a boil quickly pour it into a bowl and mix in the powdered jello. Once the powder is completely dissolved add the cold gin/tonic and stir again. Pour into disposable shot glasses (I use the large ketchup cups). CHEERS!
