Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Strainer
  • Shot glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz box strawberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 8 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 4 sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the basil leaves in a heat-safe bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let the leaves steep for five minutes to release flavor.
  • Strain the basil out of the water and return the liquid to the bowl. Stir in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved.
  • Add the cold water and vodka to the gelatin mixture and stir until combined.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into four small glasses or shot cups. Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least four hours until set.
  • Top each shot with a slice of fresh strawberry before serving.

Notes

Steep the basil just long enough to get a light herbal note. If the flavor tastes too strong, reduce the steeping time by a minute or two next time. Keep the shots chilled until right before serving so they hold their shape.
