Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (475 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, chilled (dry or brut recommended)
- 3 tablespoons (about 30 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- Edible gold flakes, a pinch per shot
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water into a bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons (30 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until spongy.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar with 1/2 cup (120 ml) champagne. Warm gently over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
- Remove saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir gently until fully dissolved. If needed, return briefly to very low heat without boiling.
- Slowly pour remaining 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) champagne into the warm gelatin mixture, stirring gently. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice if using.
- Immediately pour mixture into shot glasses or silicone molds, filling about 3/4 full.
- Carefully place a tiny pinch of edible gold flakes on top of each shot while mixture is still liquid.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until firm but tender.
- Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a mint leaf or fresh raspberry.
Notes
Bloom gelatin first to avoid lumps. Warm sugar and champagne gently to preserve bubbles. Pour champagne slowly into gelatin to keep fizz. Add gold flakes carefully to prevent clumping or sinking. Chill at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
