This dish looks like a sweet treat, but its strength is not inferior to many wines and liquors. In the USA it is called “Jell-O shots”, and in our country it is called alcoholic jelly. If you want to diversify the party or surprise your guests, then it’s hard to come up with the best option. The most important thing is that making alcoholic jelly at home is very simple. There are many recipes with vodka, cognac, champagne and other spirits.
Universal recipe for alcoholic jelly
A simple and quick cooking method that does not require rare ingredients.
Composition:
- gelatin – 20 grams;
- hot water – 80 ml;
- alcohol (vodka, whiskey, tequila, gin) – 50 ml.
I recommend choosing jelly depending on the alcohol used. For vodka – orange or cherry, for whiskey and cognac – apple, for tequila – lemon, gin goes well with peach and kiwi flavored jelly. You can also add pieces of fruit, they will be a good snack.
The optimal mixing ratio is 1:2 (one part of alcohol to two parts of water), with a higher concentration of alcohol, the jelly turns out to be tasteless.
Preparation
1. Dissolve the gelatin in hot water as directed on the sachet.
2. Cool the jelly to 30-40°C, add the selected alcohol and mix well. You can use food coloring to enhance the look (optional).
3. Pour the mixture into plastic cups and refrigerate them for 2-3 hours.
Several different types of jelly look original in one glass. It is enough to wait until the first layer thickens, and then add the second one to it. The rest of the cooking technology does not change.
4. 5-10 minutes before serving, the alcoholic jelly is removed from the refrigerator so that it melts a little.
