Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) champagne or sparkling wine (dry or brut recommended)
- 2 envelopes (about 14 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
- 1/3 cup (65 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- Edible gold flakes (a pinch per shot)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water into a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle 2 envelopes (about 14 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
- In a small saucepan, combine the bloomed gelatin with 1/3 cup (65 grams) sugar and 1 cup (240 ml) champagne. Warm gently over low heat, whisking constantly until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely. Avoid boiling to preserve champagne bubbles.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
- Carefully pour the mixture into shot glasses or silicone molds, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room for the gold flakes.
- Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm but still slightly jiggly.
- Once set, gently press a small pinch of edible gold flakes onto the top of each shot.
- Serve chilled. If using silicone molds, pop the shots out carefully before serving.
Notes
Do not boil the gelatin mixture to preserve champagne bubbles. Bloom gelatin properly to avoid gritty texture. Chill overnight for best texture. Add gold flakes just before serving. For a vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder following package instructions.
