Note
Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding the fruit to prevent graininess.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the raspberry liqueur with additional raspberry juice or simple syrup.
This dessert can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice the gelatin cleanly if serving from a mold.
Check that the strawberry gelatin package meets vegan requirements, as some brands use animal-derived gelatin. Use agar-agar for a strictly vegan alternative.
