Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing spoon
  • Shot glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup tonic water
  • 6 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 package (3 oz) lime gelatin
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and pureed

Instructions
 

  • Pour the tonic water into a small saucepan and add the basil leaves. Heat over medium until steaming but not boiling, then remove from heat and let the basil steep for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the basil leaves and return the pan to low heat. Stir in the lime gelatin until fully dissolved.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the kiwi puree until smooth.
  • Add the vodka and mix well.
  • Divide the mixture among 8 small shot glasses or molds. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until set.

Notes

Steep the basil just long enough to add flavor without turning the mixture bitter. If the kiwi puree seems thick, strain it lightly before adding so the shots set evenly. Serve cold and keep them away from direct light until guests arrive to preserve the glow effect.
