Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups apple whiskey
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 envelopes (0.25 oz / 7 g) unflavored gelatin
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Align shot cups on a baking sheet, ensuring stability and even spacing for consistent results.
- Base Creation: Bring apple cider to a vigorous boil, releasing aromatic flavors and preparing for gelatin integration.
- Gelatin Incorporation: Sprinkle gelatin over hot cider, whisking vigorously to eliminate potential lumps and achieve smooth texture.
- Cooling Phase: Allow gelatin-cider mixture to cool for approximately 15 minutes, developing a slightly thickened consistency.
- Flavor Fusion: Blend chilled apple whiskey into the cooled mixture, creating a harmonious and balanced liquid.
- Filling Process: Pour liquid carefully into each cup, maintaining precision to prevent overflow and ensure uniform distribution.
- Chilling Stage: Transfer sheet pan to refrigerator, positioning horizontally to guarantee even setting and optimal texture.
- Setting Period: Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours until shots achieve a firm yet wobbling consistency.
- Preservation: Cover cups with lids to maintain freshness and protect from absorbing external refrigerator aromas.
- Garnishing: Just before serving, crown each shot with a delicate whipped cream swirl and light cinnamon dusting for an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Gelatin: Whisk continuously while adding gelatin to hot cider to ensure smooth, lump-free texture.
- Chill Time Matters: Refrigerate shots for at least 4 hours to achieve perfect wobbly consistency; overnight setting works best.
- Precise Pouring Technique: Use steady hand and pour slowly to avoid spills and maintain clean shot cup edges.
- Flavor Enhancement Tip: Add extra ground cinnamon or a small apple slice garnish for a more intense autumn-inspired taste profile.
