Watermelon lime Jell-O shots
Yields 40 shots
What's more Spring Break than Jell-O shots? These gorgeous Jell-O shots by That's So Michelle served in lime peels are much fancier than the ones you'd chug from a plastic cup.
Ingredients:
- 10 limes
- One box watermelon Jell-O
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 cup boiling water
Directions:
- Cut limes in halves and hollow out the peel. The trick is to take a paring knife and score around the insides carefully to loosen the citrus. Then spoon it out saving the fruit.
- Boil one cup of water and add it to Jell-O mix in a large bowl, stirring until it dissolves. Gradually add one cup of vodka and stir.
- Pour mixture into a cup with a spout and pour Jell-O mixture into the limes (make sure they are standing upright). Refrigerated over night and then cut the halfs into quarters and enjoy!
