In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the sake and let soak for 5 minutes to
bloom the gelatin.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the simple syrup and ginger
just to a boil. Remove from the heat. Add the gelatin and sake mixture, and stir
to completely dissolve the gelatin. Stir in the vodka and lime juice.
Carefully pour the mixture into a plastic wrap-lined 8-inch - square glass baking
dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, not touching the liquid surface, and refrigerate
until the gelatin is completely set, preferably overnight.
To serve, unmold the gelatin onto a parchment- or wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Remove the plastic wrap and cut gelatin into desired shapes. (I like to use a 1-Inch
round cutter or to cut the gelatin into squares.) Serve each piece on a slice of
cucumber, and top with a tiny sprinkle of gold and/or ginger, if using. |
