Spiced Apple Cider Jelly Shots

By

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cold apple cider or juice
  • 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups ginger-flavored vodka
  • 2 tsp Angostura bitters
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar
  • Thinly sliced apple, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Pour apple cider into a large saucepan and sprinkle gelatin over top; let stand, without stirring, until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in sugar. Heat and stir over low heat until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved, 8-10 minutes (do not boil); remove from heat. Stir in the vodka; pour the mixture into a 9 in square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate, uncovered, until mixture is firm, about 2 hours.

To unmold, run a sharp knife along edges of gelatin; invert onto a cutting board and lift off pan. Cut into 1-in squares; brush top with bitters and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. If desired, garnish with apple slices.
