Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup vodka
- Optional: sugar for rimming glasses
- Optional: lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 3-4 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
- After blooming, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until it is liquefied. Be careful not to overheat it.
- Combine the gelatin with the lemon mixture and add 1 cup of vodka, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
- If desired, rim your shot glasses with sugar by running a lemon wedge around the edge and then dipping it in sugar.
- Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared shot glasses and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Before serving, garnish with lemon slices if you’d like to add a decorative touch.
