Blow Pop Martini Jelly Shots, watermelon and sour apple flavors
I blame my current candy-inspired cocktail obsession on Three Olives Bubble Gum Flavored vodka, 100%. Although it is unusual for me to steer towards sweet cocktails, I find myself completely overcome with infatuation for this spirit. I concocted these Blow Pop Martini Jelly Shots for JSTK's TV debut on Twin Cities Live (here's the link to the segment if you would like to watch . . .),
and am eagerly searching for more Bazooka-flavor friendly drinks - if you have any inspiration in this regard, please comment or send me an email!
Have a happy and safe New Years Eve, everyone!
Cheers and XOXOX,
Michelle
Blow Pop Martini Jelly Shot
Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Pan: flexible silicone mold, small oval savarin shape (24 cavity, I used this one) OR a standard 1 lb loaf glass or non-reactive metal loaf pan (approximately 8" x 4")
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed and strained to remove solids)
- 2/3 cup water
- 2 1/2 envelopes Knox gelatin (if not using a mold, decrease to 2 envelopes!)
- 3/4 cup bubble flavor vodka (we used Three Olives brand)
- 1 tbsp Watermelon Pucker liqueur
- 1 tbsp Sour Apple Pucker liqueur
- Lollipop sticks and mini cupcake wrappers for serving, if desired
Prepare the mold by spraying lightly with cooking spray, then wiping the mold cavities clean with a paper towel. (This will leave a very slight residue which will help unmold the jelly shots, without affecting their taste or appearance.) No preparation is needed if the jelly shots will be set in a loaf pan.
Pour lemonade concentrate and water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (approximately 5 minutes). Stir in the vodka.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. To one bowl add the Watermelon Pucker, to the other, the Sour Apple Pucker. Pour into molds and chill until fully set, several hours or overnight.
To serve, unmold. Cut the lollipop sticks into approximately 1 1/2 inch segments. Immediately before serving, insert one into each jelly shot and place each jelly shot in a mini cupcake wrapper.
Yield: 24 jelly shots.

Whoo!! My face is puckering up just reading the ingredient list. You find such interesting ingredients--bubblegum vodka?! I never knew such a thing existed. Very fun.
You are just so consistently clever and amazing! How do you do it? I posted a link on ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com :)
I so want the Watermelon ones. They're so cute and colorful. And they have puckers. You know you're a friggin genius, right?
Michelle! Your video ROCKED sister! I am so excited for you! what an amazing opportunity. YOu looked beautiful and the shots look so good. I'm sure those newsanchors where enjoying that little afternoon (or morning) shot they got...hilarious.

Your work is amazing! Thank you for the clever concoctions and making it fun to be a grown up all over again!
(Plus there's some great recipes I know my kids would love to try) :)
These are so cute!! I am going to try them this week. I just found your blog and I want to try and make all of your fabulous creations. Wonderful ideas!! Thanks for sharing.
I am attempting these tonight. In lieu of the silicone molds, I will probably just use ice cube trays. I think I want to add a little food coloring to make them fun colors, too.
I will let you know how they turn out.
I AM THROWING A JELLO SHOT PARTY IN A MONTH AND WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THESE BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY FUN MOLDS.. ANY IDEA OF A GOOD WEB SITE WHERE I WOULD FIND SOME FUN MOLDS?
Just finished making these. They were easy to do, and SO good! Making these more often!
So I made these last night for a party I'm going to tonight. I should have probably used food coloring, but they look soooo good and I can't wait to try them! An excellent idea!!!
