Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) cherry-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold vodka
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- Fresh cherries or maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a rolling boil.
- Pour the boiling water into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the cherry gelatin powder over it. Stir briskly with a whisk or spoon for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved with no lumps.
- Carefully stir in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold vodka until evenly blended.
- If desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Quickly pour the mixture into shot glasses or silicone molds.
- Place the filled molds or glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
- Just before serving, garnish each shot with a fresh cherry or maraschino cherry.
Notes
Dissolve gelatin completely in boiling water before adding vodka to ensure proper setting. Chill overnight for best texture. Use mid-range vodka for smooth flavor. Lightly spray silicone molds with non-stick spray for easier release. Dip mold bottoms in warm water briefly to loosen shots before unmolding.
