Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1½ cups cranberry juice
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup vodka
- ¼ cup triple sec
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
- Sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a medium-sized bowl, sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup (120 ml) of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes thickened and spongy.
- Heat the Liquid: In a small saucepan, combine 1½ cups (360 ml) cranberry juice and ½ cup (120 ml) water. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Remove the pan from heat and whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm liquid until fully dissolved.
- Add the Flavorings: Stir in ½ cup (120 ml) vodka, ¼ cup (60 ml) triple sec, and ½ cup (120 ml) cranberry sauce. Taste and add sugar if needed.
- Pour Into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into shot glasses or molds, filling each about ¾ full.
- Add Garnish: Place a small sprig of fresh rosemary on top of each shot. Press it gently to ensure it stays in place.
- Chill: Refrigerate the shots for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
