Directions
Spread some gelatin powder on a plate. Run a lemon wedge generously around the rim of a lowball glass, then press in the gelatin powder to coat.
Combine 2 teaspoons gelatin powder (in the same flavor) and 1 tablespoon hot water in a cocktail shaker and stir to dissolve. Add the vodka, lemon juice and simple syrup, then add ice. Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds.
Fill the rimmed glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail into the glass.
Cook’s Note
To make simple syrup, heat equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves; let cool.
