Lychee Martini Jello Shots

Sweet, juicy, and a little extra. These Lychee Martini Jelly Shots are soft-set, citrus-kissed, and lightly lifted with BLNCD Levitate. Think cocktail hour, but cuter, cleaner, and perfectly portioned. One bite, one milligram, zero overthinking.

Instructions

1) Bloom the gelatin

• Add ½ cup cold water to a bowl
• Sprinkle 1½ tbsp gelatin evenly over the surface
• Let bloom 5 minutes until spongy

2) Heat the juice base (NO BLNCD yet)

In a small saucepan, gently heat:

• Lychee juice
• Sugar
• Lime juice

Heat just until the sugar dissolves.
Do not boil.
Remove from heat.

3) Dissolve gelatin

• Whisk bloomed gelatin into warm juice until fully dissolved and smooth
• Let cool 8 to 10 minutes (warm, not hot)

4) Add BLNCD + pear juice

Stir in:

• 4 oz BLNCD Levitate
• ¼ cup pear juice

Optional: strain for extra clarity.

5) Pour into molds

• Pour HALF of the liquid evenly into 10 silicone molds or small cups
• Let cool about 20 minutes until slightly thick
• Add cherries or lychee if using
• Pour remaining liquid over the garnish

6) Chill

• Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours (overnight is best)
• Do not rush this step, full set matters

7) Serve

• Unmold very gently
• Run hot water under the bottom of the mold for about 1 minute for clean release

Each shot ≈ 1 mg THC

Pro Tips

For firmer handling, increase gelatin to 1¾ tbsp next time.

If setting feels slow, chill longer. Citrus slows gelatin.

For extra shine, lightly brush with simple syrup or neutral oil.
