Gin And Tonic Jellies Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the lemons and limes in half and hollow them out. Leave aside.
• Soften gelatin leaves in tepid water for 5-10 mins, then remove and wring out.
• Boil the gelatin in 100ml (½ cup) of the tonic water until dissolved, then add sugar and stir.
• Remove from heat.
• Add the remainder of the cold tonic water.
• Zest some lemon and lime into the mixture and stir.
• Add the gin and stir.
• Pour mixture into the hollowed out lemon and lime halves.
• Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.
• Flip the lemons and limes over so that the rind is facing skyward, then cut in half.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Take a six-hole lolly mould and push a cucumber slice and a mint leaf into each one. In a jug, stir the gin, tonic and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the tonic loses its fizz. Divide between the moulds, push in the lolly sticks and freeze for at least 4 hrs, or preferably overnight.

Steps:

• Pour about half the tonic into a bowl. Scatter the gelatin over the surface, do not stir, set aside until the gelatin blooms (softens). Meanwhile, warm the rest of the tonic over very low heat until just simmering. Whisk hot tonic, then gin and lime juice into the gelatin. Pour jelly into 4 (2- ounce) shot glasses and garnish with lime wedges or citrus of choice. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours (or overnight) until set.
