1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
\n1 cup orange flavored vodka
\n1\/4 cup Roses lime juice (or fresh lime juice and a dash simple syrup or agave nectar)

\nLime zest for garnish, if desired<\/p>\n

In a saucepan, sprinkle cranberry and lime juices with gelatin. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Stir in the liquors, making sure to fully incorporate. Pour into pan or molds, and chill until set, several hours or overnight. .<\/p>\n

To serve, cut into desired shapes. Garnish with the lime zest. Makes 18 to 24 shots.<\/p>\n

Note: Feel free to replace a little of the vodka with cranberry juice cocktail if you like.<\/p>\n
