Ingredients

1 1/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail
2 1/2 envelopes plain gelatin
1/4 cup Roses lime juice (or fresh lime juice with a healthy dash of simple syrup)

3/4 cup orange flavored vodka
1/4 cup lime zest for garnish, if desired

Directions

1Pour cranberry and lime juices into a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes).
2Stir in the liquors, making sure to fully incorporate.
3Pour into pan or molds, and chill until set, several hours or overnight.
4To serve, cut into desired shapes and garnish with lime zest, if desired.

Went to Smart & Final and bought 2oz plastic cups & lids, u get 125 of each and it's only $6.50! Then there is no need to cut! And it's less messy!

We made them in a square silicone baking pan and used a sharp knife to cut them on the diagonal (imperfections are less obvious)

only thing i can think of is practice practice practice with the cutting. i made my 1st batch (different recipe/flavor though), and i cut them in the pan. definately use a grid to help you slice from edge to edge of pan. Jelly Shots recommends graph paper. you want a sharp knife with a sharp tip and non-serrated. hold it perpendicular to jello...i found a couple of gentle jabs helped get started...then you'll be able to pull the knife through to the end of the cut. try not to press down on the jello, as it will cause a crooked cut. and then of course...make sure the jello is well set. also, oiling / greasing the pan will help when removing the jello. i also found my finger prints everywhere..so slightly moistening my finger tips and brushing across the jello helped to "erase" my prints. there are probably other ways to do what i just described, but that's' how i got it done this time. good luck. it's fun and people appreciate their beauty so much. no more are those ugly jello shots in the plastic or dixie cups!

Made a few to sample before bartending a party... They were a hit! Going to try adding the Maraschino cherries for the actual party... Thanks

Made them and they turned out great! Thanks for the recipe. I loved no cups. Hadn't thought of that before Pinterest.

Hi Anon - You can pour the jelly shots into any pan or set of molds that can hold 2 1/2 cups of liquid.

the size of pan you used would be helpful

@Anonymous: It means 2 1/2 envelopes of plain gelatin. It comes in a small box near the gelatin products at your grocery store. Usually it's Knox brand.

Would an ice cube tray work with these?

Question - Do you line the pan with something to make them pop out all perfect and square, or grease the pan? Or do you use a silicone pan that they just pop out of?
