Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot apple cider
  • cup Fireball whiskey
  • cup cold apple cider
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin 0.25 ounces each
  • Whipped cream optional garnish
  • Red apple slices optional garnish
  • Cinnamon sugar optional garnish

Instructions

  • Bloom the gelatin: In a medium bowl, pour in the cold apple cider and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the top. Give it a gentle stir just to make sure all the powder is moistened — no need to go wild here. Stirring too much can make it clumpy.
  • Let it sit: Let the mixture rest for about 3 minutes to let the gelatin bloom and do its thing.
  • Dissolve the gelatin: Now pour in the hot apple cider and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the booze: Stir in the Fireball. Give it a quick mix to combine.
  • Fill and chill: Pour the mixture into your shot cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full. Transfer them to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours, or until they’re fully set.
  • Garnish and serve: Right before serving, add a swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, and a thin apple slice on top if you’re feeling fancy. Then pass them around — cheers!
