Lemon drop jello shots {vegan version}
Make this super-pretty jello shots without the need for jello or gelatin. Using agave syrup lowers the glycemic index of these and blends nicely with the lemon juice.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh)
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1/2 tsp agar agar powder (1 g)
Instructions
- You'll need 3 lemon rinds for this = 6 halves
- Scrub the lemons.
- Cut the lemons in half (crosswise as you normally would) and juice them. (Reserve any extra juice for another use, or make more shots by doubling the recipe. Since lemons vary widely in size and juiciness, you may have just enough juice or tons extra.)
- Using your thumbnail, carefully scrape out the inside of the lemon flesh and pith, leaving just the thin rind.
- Set the rinds in mini muffin tins. (If using regular muffin tins add crumpled aluminum foil to keep them upright.)
- Whisk the agave syrup, lemon juice, and vodka in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Slowly whisk in the agar agar powder, whisking constantly so you don't get lumps. Cook for two minutes. It will not really thicken much at all.
- Pour the mixture into the lemon halves, filling as full as you can without spilling over.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until set.
- Slice each lemon half in quarters. Keep refrigerated until serving.
- Please enjoy responsibly; these are boozy!
