How to Make Mojito Jello Shots
- **Make the Mojito Mixture:** If not using store-bought mojito mix, combine 1 cup of fresh mint leaves, 1/2 cup white rum (or Marti Mojito rum), 1/4 cup sugar, and the juice of 2 limes in a cocktail shaker.
- **Muddle the Mint:** Gently muddle the mint leaves in the shaker to release their oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, or you'll get a bitter taste.
- **Shake it Up:** Add 1/2 cup of water to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well combined.
- **(Optional) Strain:** If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mojito mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves.
- **Jello Time:** In a medium saucepan, gently heat 1 cup of water over low heat. Slowly whisk in 3 oz (3 packets) of lime-flavored jello powder until completely dissolved.
- **Combine & Chill:** Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the mojito mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
- **Pour & Set:** Pour the jello mixture into 2-ounce shot glasses, filling them about 3/4 full. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
