Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 cup vodka
  • 1 cup water (cold)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until it becomes spongy.
  2. Heat Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice and sugar. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  3. Add Gelatin: Remove the lemon-sugar syrup from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
  4. Add Vodka: Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the vodka evenly.
  5. Pour into Cups: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into small shooter or jelly cups to about 3/4 full.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the shooters for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set and firm.
  7. Serve: Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a thin lemon slice or zest for an extra citrusy touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and natural tartness.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
  • Vodka can be substituted with any clear-flavored spirit or skipped for a non-alcoholic version.
  • These shooters should be served cold and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
