Drink The Book: Pimm'S No. 1 Cup Jelly Shots Recipe
- 4 strawberries
- 1 orange slice (about 1 inch), coarsely chopped
- 2 large sprigs fresh mint
- 1 (1-inch) piece cucumber, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup Pimm's No. 1 Cup
- 6 ice cubes
- 2/3 cup ginger ale
- 2/3 cup lemon syrup (recipe follows)
- 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
- Slivers of cucumber, strawberry, orange, and mint for garnish if desired
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 medium lemons, each cut into 8 wedges
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Muddle the lemon wedges. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain immediately. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
- Muddle fruit together the strawberries, orange, mint, and chopped cucumber in a large cocktail shaker. Add Pimm's and the ice cubes and shake vigorously. Strain liquid through fine mesh strainer and set aside (you should have approximately 2/3 cup of liquid).
- Combine ginger ale and lemon syrup in saucepan in a medium saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow gelatin to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the reserved Pimm's liquid, stirring well to blend. Pour into pan and chill until fully set, several hours or overnight.
- To serve, cut into rectangles. To garnish, peel "ribbons" from cucumber using a vegetable peeler. The ribbons should be about 6 inches long for easy handling. Group the slivered fruit and mint as desired, and tie each bundle with a cucumber ribbon. Trim the ribbon ends to desired length. Place a fruit bundle on each jelly shot.
