Sangria Jello Shooters

Thanks to Crystal for making these and sarahcupcake.com for the original recipe. Say goodbye to Jello shots! These jammy's were on point! Super sangria flavor in a jelly that can sit out all day and not melt.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
4 envelopes (about 8 tsp) Knox gelatin
2 cups (about 2/3 bottle) red wine
1 lemon, sliced and seeded
1/2 orange, sliced
1/2 apple, sliced
1/3 cup brandy
2 tbl triple sec
1/2 cup vodka
1/2 cup club soda

In a small saucepan mix together the orange and pomegranate juice. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and let soak for 2 minutes. Set over low heat and let dissolve for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile add the red wine to a large glass with the sliced lemon, orange, and apple. Using a muddle stick or the end of a wooden spoon, muddle the fruit and wine. Strain into the gelatin mixture. Stir in the brandy, triple sec, vodka, and club soda. (At this point if the mixture tastes too strong you can add a little more fruit juice, or likewise if it's too weak for you add a little more vodka.) Pour into shot cups and put in the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours.

*Makes about 30 jelly shots.
