Raspberry Cosmo (Jell-O)
- Ready In:
- 3hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
4 cups
ingredients
- 2 (2 tablespoon) envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1⁄2 cup cold water
- 1 1⁄4 cups cranberry juice
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 3⁄4 cup cold triple sec (liqueur)
- 1⁄2 cup cold vodka
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 cup fresh raspberry
directions
- In a large bowl, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes.
- In a saucepan, bring the cranberry juice and sugar just to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from the heat. Pour the boiling mixture into the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Let the mixture cool; stir in the triple sec, vodka and lime juice. Refrigerate until thickened. (See Note 1 below.).
- Fold in the raspberries. Spoon into a 4-cup mold or 5 to 8 martini glasses. Refrigerate until firm. (See Note 2 below.) Unmold and serve, or serve in the martini glasses.
- Keep it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours for individual molds, at least 4 hours for 2- to 6-cup molds and at least 5 hours or overnight for 8- to 12-cup molds.
- Note 1: The gelatin should be the consistency of an extremely dense pudding. Keep it in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes (depending on the volume, thickness and chilling temperature). This is best for when you will suspend fruit as you do in this recipe.
- Note 2: The gelatin should not stick to your finger if you touch it. It should be immobile.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
