Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Shot Glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blood orange juice
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1/4 cup of the water into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup water and the sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the blood orange juice and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the warm liquid into the bowl with the bloomed gelatin. Whisk until the gelatin dissolves completely.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among 8 small shot glasses or molds. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until fully set.

Notes

Chill the blood orange juice ahead of time so the mixture cools faster after combining. The lemon juice sharpens the citrus taste without overpowering it, so skip it only if you prefer a milder result. Serve straight from the fridge for the best texture.
