A Healthy Jell-O Shot? YES.

POM Wonderful Cosmo Jell-O Shots

Recipe from Appetite for Good

Ingredients:

  • 2 packets of gelatin (1 tablespoon)
  • 2 1/2 cups POM
  • 1/2 cup good-quality Vodka ( I used Luksusowa)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • raw sugar for garnish
  • pomegranate seeds for garnish

In a large bowl mix 1 cup of POM with 1 packet of gelatin, allow to sit for at least 5 minutes or until gelatin is dissolved. Meanwhile in a small saucepan dissolve the sugar and remaining POM and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling turn off the heat and mix with the gelatin mixture. Once thoroughly mixed, add the vodka.

Distribute the mix in shot glasses or into a 6 x 2 glass round pan. Place in fridge and allow to set for at least an hour. When ready to serve, garnish the shot glasses with raw sugar and top with pomegranate seeds. For the jello shots without glasses, simply using a 1/2″ circle cutter cut out as many pieces you can from your pan. Sprinkle with raw sugar and top with pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy frequently
