- 3 3-ounce packages apple-flavored gelatin
- 1.5 cup boiling water
- 1.5 cup apple cider fresh-pressed recommended
- 1.5 cup vodka neutral or spiced rum
Cinnamon-Sugar Rim
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Mixture
- Sprinkle the gelatin into a heat-proof bowl; pour in 1½ cups boiling water. Whisk for 2 minutes until dissolved completely.
- Stir in 1½ cups apple cider and 1½ cups vodka until the liquid is silky smooth.
- Pour into 24 shot glasses on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until firm with a gentle jiggle and slightly opaque edges.

Notes
Testing note: Whisk an extra minute if any gelatin granules remain to ensure a smooth set.
Storage note: Keep refrigerated at or below 40°F and consume within 3 days to maintain optimal texture.
Variation: Swap half the vodka for spiced rum or apple brandy for a deeper autumnal flavor.
