If you’re looking for a playful and refreshing twist on standard party treats, these Zen-Fusion Green Tea Jello Shots have you covered. Inspired by the classic green tea cocktail, they blend the mellow attractiveness of green tea flavors with a subtle citrus zip, all in an easy-to-serve jiggly package.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed green tea (make it strong and let it cool)
- 1 (3-ounce) box unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 1/2 cup whiskey
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon-lime soda
- Optional: a few fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Begin by brewing a strong cup of your favorite green tea. Once it’s ready, allow it to cool down to room temperature. In a small saucepan, gently sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over half the cooled green tea, letting it “bloom” (soften) without stirring—this usually takes about a minute.
Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring slowly until the gelatin dissolves completely. Avoid bringing it to a full boil, as high heat can affect the gelatin’s setting power. When the gelatin has fully blended, remove the saucepan from the stove. Pour in the remaining green tea, peach schnapps, whiskey, and the lemon-lime soda, whisking gently to combine all the flavors.
Next, carefully distribute your liquid jello shot mixture into individual shot cups or a shallow dish. Place them in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours (or until firm to the touch). If you like a bit of flair, add a couple of mint leaves on top just before serving to give that extra pop of color and a hint of fresh aroma.
When ready, serve these fun little shots cold. Be warned: they disappear fast at gatherings and can quickly become the highlight of any party spread!
Enjoy responsibly with friends!
Pro tip: If you want a slightly sweeter or lighter shot, reduce the whiskey just a tad and bump up the lemon-lime soda for a bubbly twist.
Garnish away, and have fun experimenting with different fruit-infused variations, like adding a splash of peach nectar or replacing half the soda with sparkling flavored water to lower the sugar intake.
These Zen-Fusion Green Tea Jello Shots deliver a balanced, refreshing flavor that’s perfect for cocktail enthusiasts looking for a new spin on jello shots. They cater to anyone seeking lighter-tasting party treats with a hint of cozy tea vibes. Feel free to fine-tune the sweetness or alcohol content to suit your personal preference or dietary needs. Cheers to enjoying a guilt-free nibble (or slurp) that’s guaranteed to keep the good times rolling!
