Tequila Avion Gummy Bear Jello Shots (Makes around 10-2 Oz shots)
Gummy Bear Syrup (Makes about one cup)
- 1 Cup Gummy Bears (Your choice in flavor- I did half cherry half lemon. Get creative!)
- 1½ Cups Water
- 1 Pinch Citric Acid
- 1 Pinch Salt
Method:
- Prepare a double boiler.
- Add the Gummy Bears and the water to the top of the boiler.
- Let Gummy Bears slowly melt into the water, stirring occasionally.
- Once they are completely incorporated, transfer the mixture into a separate saucepan.
- Add citric acid and salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture has reduced to 1 cup, you’re ready to build the shots.
The Jello Shot
- 1 Cup Tequila Avión Silver
- 1 Cup Gummy Bear Syrup
- 1/3 Cup Powdered Gelatin (This is about half of what you’d normally use in a Jello shot, but since there’s gelatin in the Gummy Bears, you don’t need so much.)
Method:
- Add the Tequila Avión to the Gummy Bear Syrup while it’s still hot enough that it hasn’t started to set.
- Slowly whisk in gelatin, so that there are no big clumps.
- Prepare your serving vessels by spraying the insides of them lightly with olive oil cooking spray, so the shots will release more easily when they’re set up.
- Transfer the mixture into a pour-able container and pour into the prepared serving vessels.
- Place vessels in refrigerator and let set up (about 2 hours).
- When they’re fully set, they’re ready to enjoy!
