Portal Jello Shots

Repulsion and Propulsion gels added a new level to Portal 2 and now they can add a new level to your geeky drink night!  Kristina Ackerman of KnuckleSalad.com created jello shots that are sure to delight many a test subject.

Blue Portal Jello Shots
Ingredients:
1/2 cup lime sherbet
1/2 cup water
2 envelopes Knox gelatin
2 oz blue curacao
1/2 cup ginger ale
1/2 cup gin

Directions:
1. Melt sherbet in a medium bowl.
2. Place water into a small saucepan and sprinkle 1 envelope of the gelatin on top. Let it sit for about a minute, then heat slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add to sherbet bowl, along with 1.5 oz (1 shot) of the blue curacao. Cover and chill.
3. Place ginger ale into small saucepan and sprinkle the other envelope of gelatin on top. Let it sit for about a minute, then heat slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add gin and remaining curacao, cover, and chill.
4. Wait 20–30 minutes, until the sherbet mixture has begun to solidify and the gin mixture has just thickened. Stir both, then pour the gin mixture into a loaf pan and drop spoonfuls of the sherbet mixture in, swirling it with a spoon to create a gloppy marbling effect. Cover and return to fridge until fully set.
5. When set, slice into the desired shape.

Orange Portal Jello Shots:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup orange sherbet
1/2 cup water
2 envelopes Knox gelatin
1/2 cup ginger ale
1/2 cup vanilla rum
1 drop yellow food coloring (optional; slightly brightens color of completed shot)

Directions:
1. Melt sherbet in a medium bowl.
2. Place water into a small saucepan and sprinkle 1 envelope of the gelatin on top. Let it sit for about a minute, then heat slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add to sherbet bowl, cover, and chill.
3. Place ginger ale into small saucepan and sprinkle the other envelope of gelatin on top. Let it sit for about a minute, then heat slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add rum (and optional drop of yellow food coloring), cover, and chill.
4. Wait 20–30 minutes, until the sherbet mixture has begun to solidify and the rum mixture has thickened. Stir both, then pour the rum mixture into a loaf pan and drop spoonfuls of the sherbet mixture in, swirling it with a spoon to create a gloppy marbling effect. Cover and return to fridge until fully set.
5. When set, slice into the desired shape.
