POMEGRANATE TEQUILA SUNRISE JELLO SHOTS

Steps:

• Lightly spray 12 (2-oz) shot glasses with cooking spray; gently wipe any excess with paper towel. In 1-quart saucepan, pour orange juice; sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin evenly over juice to soften. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved; remove from heat. Stir in tequila. Divide orange juice mixture evenly among shot glasses (about 2 tablespoons per glass). In 9-inch square pan, place shot glasses. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until almost set.
• Meanwhile, in same saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, sugar and water. Sprinkle remaining 1 envelope gelatin evenly over juice to soften. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved; remove from heat.
• Remove shot glasses from refrigerator (orange layer should appear mostly set). Pour pomegranate mixture evenly over top of orange layer in glasses (about 4 teaspoons per glass). Refrigerate at least 3 hours until completely chilled and firm.
• Just before serving, dip a table knife in hot water; slide knife along inside edge of shot glass to loosen. Shake jello shot out of glass onto plate; repeat with remaining jello shots. Serve each jello shot on top of whole orange slice or serve jello shots with orange slice wedges.

TEQUILA SUNRISE SHOTS

Steps:

• 1. Lightly spray an 8 x8 baking pan with non stick spray. You can use silicone molds for this if you prefer. For the red layer, pour the grenadine and water into a small pot. Sprinkle the gelatin over top, and let sit for two minutes. Turn the heat on low, stirring constantly for 5 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour into prepared pan or mold and chill for at least 45 minutes or until it is set. Next is the orange layer. Pour the orange juice into a small pot. Sprinkle the gelatin over top, and let sit for two minutes. Turn the heat on low, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the tequila. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Using a large spoon or ladle, slowly pour the orange over the set grenadine layer. Put in the fridge until it is completely set. For the baking dish use a sharp knife and cut into small squares - or large square if you like. Use a flexible spatula to remove. If you used molds remove carefully. Place onto a chilled serving tray and keep in fridge until party time.
