Lemon Drop Wedges
Molecular Mixology is an interesting form of bartending. Beyond infusions, airs, foams, I feel like I have been doing this for years. Yes, I am talking about jello shots. Now that bartenders are using gelatin sheets rather than the box of Jello, you still pretty much end up with sa VERY similar product in the end. Serving a gin and tonic cube over a baked lime chip is definitely more sophisticated than sucking it out of a small cup, but in fact we are dealing with about the same procedure and technique. That is why this presentation from Bakers Royal caught my eye. In the simplest form they made Jello shooters and placed the Jello into hollowed out lemon halves. Sliced these bad boys look amazing.
Empty out the citrus of your choice to create a vessel.
Juice the citrus first as it makes for easier pulp removal. Save extracted juice for later recipes.
Use either a grapefruit knife to hollow out the citrus, or the easier way, is to turn them inside out like the picture and dig deeply in to the pith until you catch the thin membrane holding the pulp and then peel back.
Make sure to completely clean out your citrus or the pulp will show in the wedges.
Make the Jell-O according to the instructions on the box and then reduce the cold water portion by ¼ cup and replace with your chilled drink mix. Place emptied citrus into muffin pan holes. Pour mixture into emptied citrus and chill overnight.
Use a straight edge knife to cut into wedges. Do not use a serrated knife or it will leave track marks.
Make sure to use a sharp knife or you will end up with mangled wedges.
