Ingredients
-
1 cup Crown Royal Peach
-
1 cup lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
-
½ cup flat Sprite (let it sit open for a few hours)
-
2 packets unflavored gelatin
-
1 tbsp grenadine
-
Optional: thin peach slices, lemon peel twists, or maraschino cherries for garnish
-
12–16 plastic shot cups or silicone molds
Instructions
-
Bloom the gelatin: Pour the lemonade into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
-
Heat gently: Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.
-
Mix in liquids: Remove from heat and stir in the Crown Royal Peach and flat Sprite until fully combined.
-
Fill the molds: Carefully pour the mixture into your shot cups or molds, filling each one about halfway to three-quarters full. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
-
Add grenadine: Once the shots are semi-set, drizzle a small spoonful of grenadine into the center of each shot. It will sink to create that pretty layered “sunset” effect.
-
Garnish and chill: Add optional fruit garnishes if desired. Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours, or until fully firm.
-
Serve cold: Enjoy these chilled beauties straight from the fridge for maximum summer vibes!
Notes
-
Flat soda is key! Let your Sprite sit open for a few hours so it doesn’t interfere with the gelatin setting.
-
Make ahead: These are best made the day before your event to allow for full setting and optimal flavor.
-
Want to go alcohol-free? Swap the Crown Royal Peach for peach juice or nectar and use more lemonade in place of Sprite.
-
Layering tip: Let the first layer partially set before adding grenadine for the best “sunset” effect without mixing colors.
-
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. These are not freezer-friendly.
