It’s time to make the most of summer fun! Be Mixed, the new line of all-natural, zero-calorie cocktail mixers, has the perfect summer recipe.

Launched late last year in New York, Be Mixed is available in three flavors: cucumber mint, ginger lime and margarita and can be purchased at Whole Foods, Fresh Direct, Citarella and at Be-Mixed.com.

Be Mixed Champagne Jello Shots

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. Champagne Or Cava
• 4 oz. Gin
• 2 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 4 oz. Be Mixed Cucumber Mint
• 2 Packages Knox Gelatin

Preparation: Combine the Be Mixed and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well, then pour into a medium saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow the gelatin to soak for two minutes, then heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes).

Remove from heat and add the gin and Champagne, stirring well to blend. Pour into a very lightly greased loaf pan and chill until fully set, several hours or overnight.

Turn out the set gelatin onto parchment paper, then slice carefully (a thin knife like a boning knife works best) into rectangles or squares. Enjoy!
