Mojito Jelly Shot

Makes roughly 30

Ingredients
  • 350ml white rum
  • 300ml water
  • 3 limes, juice
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 50g mint
  • 3 leaves of gelatine
Equipment
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 saucepan
  • 30 shot glasses

Soak the gelatine leaves in some water for 10 minutes. Put the sugar and the water into the saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves but do not boil. Drain the gelatine of water and then drop into the saucepan and allow it to dissolve.

Place the rum, lime juice, mint leaves and sugar/gelatine syrup into the mixing bowl. Using a hand held processor (a ‘Billy Whiz’) mix the cocktail until all the mint leaves have been completely shredded. Allow to chill for roughly an hour. Pour through a fine sieve to remove the mint leaves and give the mixture a good stir before pouring into the shot glasses and chill to set.

I have used slightly less gelatine in this recipe than I would for a proper jelly so that it is possible to pour the shot out of the glass.
