Helderman's Cactus Cooler Jell-O




Source of Recipe


Rod Helderman, November 1994


Recipe Introduction


"Have you ever heard of a Cactus Cooler? Equal parts Pineapple and Cranberry juice and as much Cactus Juice as you like. Cactus juice is a Margarita flavored schnapps, but I'm sure you knew that. Might be good in a jiggley form.


List of Ingredients




One large box Cranberry Jell-O mix
One large box Pineapple Jell-O mix
4 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
2 cups "Cactus Juice" Margarita-flavored Schnapps

Combine Jello with 4 cups boiling water; stir to dissolve. Add cold water and Schnapps. Refrigerate until set

Warning: This makes a double batch. You can cut it in half if you ever find a small box of cranberry jell-o. Or, after the dissolve-in-boiling water stage, divide the batch in half and add cold water/schnapps to one half and regular cold water to the other half (for the kids)."
