Blueberry Martini Jello Shots Recipes

Steps:

• To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, and stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Off heat, combine the vodka and simple syrup in a small saucepan. Add gelatin powder to the vodka mixture. Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved and incorporated into the vodka mixture, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Place a few blueberries in the bottom of each individual ice cube mold, and carefully pour the vodka mixture into each. Refrigerate the ice cube tray until set, preferably overnight. These cocktails will keep, refrigerated, for as long as 2 days.

Steps:

• Combine the seltzer water and olive juice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and leave it to bloom for 5 minutes.
• Microwave the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Stir in the vodka or gin and dry vermouth. Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce glasses and place an olive in each glass. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• To make the blueberry vodka: Pour out approximately 1/3 of the bottle of vodka into a holding container; set aside. Score each blueberry with a small nick and place into vodka bottle. With the vodka previously set aside, fill the vodka bottle until just below the neck. Add just enough raspberry liqueur to top off the bottle. Let sit in a dark place for 2 weeks.
• To make martinis: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 parts blueberry vodka, 1 part raspberry liqueur, and a dash of lime juice. Shake vigorously and strain into glass. Garnish with twist of lime zest.
