What a brilliant idea for a fun cocktail-party twist! They remind me of a grown-up version of the finger-Jello I ate happily as a kid.

@juan I totally agree with you. For the longest time I couldn’t get over these cocktails that called themselves martinis when they just had vodka in them. I think a real martini needs a drop of vermouth in them to be called a martini, but then I had a drink and got over it.

As for when there is too much alcohol for the gelatin to set, I found a formula on a molecular gastronomy site:

% gelatin to add = (% alcohol in final mix x 0.1) + 2. Seems right to me.

looks great.

without launching into a rant about how anything mixed with anything else is called a martini these days (most people don’t even know a true martini uses gin), doesn’t a blueberry martini usually have triple sec in it, too?

would throwing in triple sec make it too watery/alcoholic? is there a critical point beyond which there’s simply too much alcohol in gelatin for it to set?

@Natalie Wish I could take credit for the idea, but alas, I found the recipe on the Internet.
@flutterbyblue If you make them more softer, the soup spoons works nicely.
@Graeme I love creating alcoholics!

Makes you want to take up drinking, seriously.
Such a cool idea.
