These shots celebrate fall with apple cider, cinnamon and whiskey wrapped in a fun party presentation. They are easy to make ahead and chill in the fridge until you need them. The whipped cream topping and optional crust pieces make them festive and fun to serve.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Saucepan Small
- Shot Glasses 2-Ounce
Ingredients
- 1 Cup apple cider unfiltered, at room-temperature or chilled. I used Riveridge Honeycrisp Blend Apple Cider
- 1 Envelope gelatin unflavored, I used Knox gelatin
- ½ Cup apple flavor whiskey I used Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple
- ¼ Cup cinnamon whiskey I used Fireball
- 1 Teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnishes
- whipped cream
- pie crust cut-outs
- apple pie spice or ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Pour unfiltered apple cider into a small saucepan. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin evenly over top of the cider. Allow the gelatin to “bloom” for 5 minutes.
- Warm apple cider over medium heat for about 5 minutes, whisking until gelatin is completely dissolved. Don't let it boil. Remove from heat.
- Stir in apple-flavored whiskey, cinnamon whiskey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Transfer into a heat-proof container with a spout, such as a glass measuring cup, for easy pouring.
- Pour gelatin mixture into disposable 2-ounce shot glasses.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until set. Top with whipped cream, pie crust cut-outs, and apple pie spice, if desired.
Notes
Don’t skip blooming the jello: It prevents clumps and ensures smooth texture.
Heat gently: Don't boil the cider or jello or it may lose its set.
Use unfiltered cider: It gives deeper flavor and better color.
Chill well: Make sure shots are fully set before adding toppings.
