Vegan Pomegranate Orange Jello Shots

Jello fruit slice shots are awesome, but they're not vegetarian. This version uses agar agar and fruit juice instead of Jello, so it's veggie-friendly and adult party ready!

Ingredients

  • 4 small oranges halos are great!, halved and insides removed
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 tsp agar agar not flakes
  • ¼ cup white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
  • ¾ cup vodka
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together pomegranate juice, sugar, water, and agar agar powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until powder is fully dissolved, continuing to whisk occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat, add vodka slowly, stirring thoroughly
  3. Place orange halves upright in a small plastic container or dish. You want them to fit together snugly, but not be smashed in. Pour juice mixture into orange peels, careful not to over- or under-fill. Allow orange halves to rest on the countertop until almost solidified. (Agar agar is solid at room temperature.)
  4. Once filling is nearly solid, move wedges to refrigerator until completely chilled (about 2 hours). Carefully remove halves from container and cut into wedges with a sharp knife.
