# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Base Mixture

01 - 240 ml cranberry-raspberry juice
02 - 3 packets unflavored gelatin (3 tablespoons, approximately 27 g total)
03 - 60 ml triple sec liqueur
04 - 665 g canned mandarin oranges in light syrup, juice reserved
05 - 530 ml sweet red sparkling wine or red wine

→ Fruit Garnish

06 - 2 pints (approx. 320 g) fresh raspberries
07 - 2 large apples
08 - 15 ml lemon juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Pour cranberry-raspberry juice into a 1-litre heatproof measuring jug and heat until hot, but not boiling.
02 - Sprinkle unflavored gelatin evenly over the hot juice and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
03 - Add triple sec and 120 ml reserved mandarin orange syrup to the dissolved gelatin mixture. Pour in red sparkling wine to bring the total liquid to the 950 ml mark. Stir gently to combine. Skim any surface foam, then set aside at room temperature.
04 - Arrange forty 60 ml shot cups on a baking tray. Place 2–3 pieces of mandarin orange and several raspberries in each cup.
05 - Peel, core, and dice apples into small cubes. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. Divide diced apples evenly among the cups.
06 - Pour the wine-gelatin mixture into each prepared cup, dividing equally among all portions.
07 - Transfer tray of cups to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

# Extra Information:

01 - Substitute 60 ml plastic condiment cups if 60 ml shot cups are unavailable; serving size may vary accordingly.
02 - Unflavored gelatin requires standing for about 5 minutes before whisking until smooth.
03 - Keeping the cups on a tray helps for safe refrigeration and transport.
04 - Tossing diced apples in lemon juice helps prevent oxidation and browning during setting.
