Loosing My Rind
July is Watermelon Month! We are celebrating with these delicious watermelon themed wobble shots.
Ingredients
Herradura Silver Tequila
Herradura Silver owes its distinctly sweet taste of agave and subtle oak notes to resting for an impressive 45 days beyond the industry standard in American White Oak barrels. The prolonged aging process creates a light straw color with a unique, robust aroma of cooked agave, vanilla and wood that leaves your mouth feeling smooth and refreshed.

Refrigerate
Outside Watermelon Rind
Heat 1 cup heavy whipping cream, add green food coloring and mix
Bloom gelatin and mix
Spray non stick on the mold and blot off excess non stick spray
Pour halfway into dome mold, use a slightly smaller dome mold to hold gelatin in place - disperse gelatin to edges of mold
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours
Carefully remove from mold.
Final steps
Put watermelon sphere into rind, add another rind to top of watermelon sphere.
Cut into slices
There’s no sense sitting around waiting for the gelatin to get firm.
Make yourself a cocktail while you wait for the gelatin to sit.
