How to Make Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots

Prepare the grenadine layer

Combine the grenadine and water in a small saucepan.

Sprinkle the grenadine and water with the gelatin, allowing it to soak for 2 minutes.

Heat the gelatin over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 5 minutes. Avoid letting the gelatin mixture boil.

Pour the grenadine gelatin mixture into a 9” (23cm) round pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Chill the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Prepare the orange layer

Pour the orange juice into a medium saucepan and sprinkle it with gelatin. Let the gelatin soak for 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook and stir the gelatin over low heat for 5 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Remove the gelatin from the heat and stir in the tequila.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Ladle the orange layer over the grenadine layer that has been chilling in the refrigerator. Return the round pan to the refrigerator.

Chill the gelatin for 4 hours or overnight until the mixture is fully set.

Serve the Jell-O shots

Remove the round pan from the refrigerator.

Invert the pan over a cutting board.

If the gelatin is adhering to the sides, use an offset spatula to separate the gelatin from the sides of the round pan.

Cut the gelatin into round shots using a 1-1/2” (4cm) cookie cutter.

Place the shots on a chilled tray for serving.

Finished.
