Pineapple Kiwi Basil Shots
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine mesh strainer
- Mixing bowl
- Shot glasses
Ingredients
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 (3-ounce) package lime gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Place the chopped kiwi, basil leaves, and pineapple juice in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the basil is fully broken down.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a measuring cup to remove any pulp or leaf bits. Set the strained liquid aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the lime gelatin to the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the strained kiwi-basil-pineapple liquid, the cold water, and the vodka until everything is evenly combined.
- Divide the mixture among 8 small shot glasses. Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until the shots are fully set.
Notes
Strain the blended base well so the shots stay clear and bright green. If you want a stronger basil taste, let the leaves steep in the pineapple juice for 10 minutes before blending. Keep the shots refrigerated until serving to maintain their firm texture.
