Notes
I love using strawberry jelly for a light and fruity kick. If you like it spicy, try using pepper jelly!
The shots taste best when chilled overnight, allowing flavors to meld perfectly.
Don’t forget to add the mint leaves right before serving for a fresh look.
Always handle with care to keep them looking cute and festive! 🧀
