Ingredients

  • 2½ cups water
  • ½ cup heaping mint leaves, packed
  • 18 ounces packaged lime Jell-O
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 9x9-inch square baking dish with plastic wrap, letting it hang over the sides of the pan; set aside.
  2. Combine the water and mint leaves in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mint leaves from the saucepan and discard. Bring the water to a boil. Meanwhile, empty the Jell-O packets into a large bowl.
  4. When the water comes to a boil, pour it over the Jell-O in the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until it has completely dissolved. Stir in the bourbon and lime juice. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate until set, 1 to 2 hours.
  5. Using the plastic wrap "handles", lift the square of Jell-O out of the pan. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into squares. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Notes
