The below liquid measurements can be adjusted to taste / preference. The only two firm rules I would go by are: -
1. Always melt the jelly in the microwave BEFORE adding the alcohol. DO NOT put the alcohol in the microwave.
2. You need 1 pint of liquid for every 135g bar of jelly - how you make up that pint of liquid is up to you; but my way tastes pretty darn good; even if I do say so myself!! ;)
1. You will need: -
* Jelly (I'm using Hartleys Raspberry)
* Alcohol of choice (I'm using Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur and Passion Fruit Malibu)
* A 1 pint jug
* Shot glasses
2. Place the jelly in the jug and fill the jug 1/3 (one third) (approx. 7 fl. oz.) full with boiling water from the kettle. Place in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until dissolved and stir well.
3. Top the jug up to 2/3 (two thirds) (approx. 14 fl. oz.) with cold water from the tap and stir well.
4. Top the jug up to full (1 pint) with the alcohol of your choice.
5. Fill up your shot glasses - I managed to fill 11 shot glasses with my mixture; but as you can see they are all different sized glasses.
6. Put in the fridge over night - I placed my shot glasses in an old biscuit tin, just so I had more control over them when putting them in / taking them out of the fridge, and to decrease the likely hood of someone putting something in the fridge without realising and knocking them over!!
Enjoy!
