Servings 12
Ingredients
  • 2 packets Knox unflavored gelatin (or 2 tbsp powdered bovine gelatin)
  • 1/2 cup cold water (for blooming)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup, you can opt for a flavor here (ie. Mint, Basil, Rosemary)
Instructions
  • Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 tbsp gelatin over ½ cup cold water. Let sit 3–5 minutes until spongy.
  • Cool slightly: Let the mixture sit 2–3 minutes so the alcohol doesn’t cook off.
  • Add remaining ingredients: Stir in Irish whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  • Fill lemon halves: Place hollowed lemon halves in a muffin tin so they sit flat. Pour mixture into each.
  • Chill: Refrigerate 3–4 hours until firm.
  • Slice: Cut each lemon half into 3–4 wedges.
