3 1/2 cups white sugar
8 packets (.25 ounce) unflavored gelatin
4 cups lemon vodka
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for lemon drop jelly shots. If you can, use organic lemons to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
  • Chill the ingredients before mixing: Chilling the vodka, lemon juice, and water before mixing will help the jelly shots set up more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a good quality gelatin: Not all gelatin is created equal. Look for a brand that is known for its quality and consistency.
  • Don't over-mix the gelatin: Over-mixing the gelatin can cause it to become tough and rubbery. Mix it just until it is dissolved.
  • Chill the jelly shots for at least 4 hours: This will give the jelly shots time to set up properly and develop their full flavor.
  • Garnish the jelly shots with lemon slices or twists: This will add a finishing touch and make the jelly shots more festive.

Conclusion:

Lemon drop jelly shots are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
