This week is prime Christmas party time where companies up and down the UK will be cutting out early at midda
Thank God then, for those cuddly Hairy Bikers and their recipe for Cranberry & Lime vodka jelly shots. A little more finessed than the jello-shots you tried to make aged 19, the recipe is simple yet fun.
Ingredients:
3 sheets leaf gelatine
375ml cranberry juice drink
50g caster sugar
150ml vodka
Finely squeezed juice of ½ lime
Method:
Put the gelatine sheets in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Leave to soften for 5 min
Lift the gelatine from the water and squeeze it to remove as much liquid as possible. Drop the gelatine into the warm cranberry juice and stir until completely dissolved. If the juice isn’t warm enough to melt the gelatine, put it back on the heat for a couple of minutes more.
Stir the vodka and lime juice into the cranberry mixture and pour into a jug. Place your shot glasses on a tray and pour the mixture into them. Cover loosely with clingfilm and chill for several hours until lightly set.
