"Chef Michael Symon's take on the classic party treat. From Food And Wine, Feb 2008."
- Ready In:

- Yields:
-
30 shots
ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (3 envelopes total)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup lightly packed mint leaf
- 1 cup white rum
directions
- In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the gelatin over the simmering syrup and whisk constantly over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute.
- Put the syrup, lime juice and mint leaves in a heatproof bowl. Let stand 15 minutes.
- Stir in rum. Strain into a large measuring cup. Squeeze the mint leaves to extract as much liquid (and flavor) as possible. Stir well.
- Arrange 30 small paper cups on a sheet tray. Divide the mixture equally among the cups, then refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 3 hours.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
