Strawberry-Lemonade Jello Shots




How cute are these!  I made a version of these on the Fourth of July for my annual family party, but I wasn’t thrilled with the results.  I tinkered with the recipe a little and I think these are really tasty.  The hollowed out lemon makes a perfect mold for the jello. They make a fun little addition to any summer gathering and the best part is you can enjoy a couple of these and not blow your diet! 

Lemonade Jello Shots

6 whole lemons
1 cup pink lemonade
One 3-oz. package strawberry gelatin
½ cup favorite vodka, chilled
½ cup cold water






Cut the lemons in half lengthwise.    





Scoop out the inside of the lemon leaving a clean, hollow shell.

Arrange the lemon halves on a cookie sheet or large tray.  Keep the lemon halves upright and level.

Pour the lemonade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Stir in the gelatin and stir until gelatin is dissolved.  Remove from heat.

Combine the ½ cup vodka with the ½ cup cold water.

Stir the vodka/water into the gelatin mixture.

Carefully spoon the gelatin mixture into the lemon halves.  Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

When set, cut each lemon half in half lengthwise and serve.



Makes 24 shots.
