Easiest Ever Homemade Raspberry Acai Gelatin

Recently, when I was developing a signature cocktail for Girls’ Night In, a divine Berry Thyme Spritzer, I thought that why not only use Trop50 Raspberry Acai juice in the cocktail/mocktail, but also in a retro dessert that will take my friends way back – a Homemade Raspberry Acai Gelatin.

Back in the day, when my BFF Meowmix would organize gals’ night up in Massachusetts, a visit to this club, The Palace, was always on the agenda and we’d have a blast with some friends of ours dancin’ the night away.  Now – the Palace had a few nightclubs within the spot – the typical dance club, a nice lounge and, of course, a more sedate version of a “Magic Mike” room where some of our friends worked.  I think the hilarity that would ensue from watching some of my friends and club attendees get a bit tipsy was due in part to our friend Frank’s “Jello Shots” that he would serve at the bar.  One of these days, I’ll have to see if Meowmix has a pic from those days but let’s just say, the stories we could tell would have you in tears of laughter.

However, as we were doing  a Girls’ Night In, it was all about the mocktail and I wasn’t going to do Jello Shots, obviously, but I figured I’d make a more sedate homemade gelatin topped with fresh berries to cap off the evening.  This Homemade Raspberry Acai gelatin kicks any version that you can buy in a supermarket’s butt – and it’s SO easy to make.  We’re talking SERIOUSLY easy – so if you want to make homemade gelatin for your friends and family, you can use this recipe as a base and play with it using your favorite juice and add ins.
