Here is your solution! I am bringing them to a housewarming party tonight. Aren't they gorgeous? The color combinations are endless.
*10 limes, *one box watermelon (or any kind of red color) jello * 1 cup vodka *1 cup boiling water
- 10 limes makes 40 jello shots -
2. Boil one cup of water and add it to jello mix in a large bowl, stirring until it dissolves.
3. Slowly add one cup of vodka and stir.
- 10 limes makes 40 jello shots -
1. Prepare limes by cutting them in halves and hollowing out the peel. This may sound easier than it is. 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. (If you have a juicer for every 1 cup of lime juice add 6 cups of water and half a cup of sugar and 3 teaspoons of honey for an awesome limeade).
2. Boil one cup of water and add it to jello mix in a large bowl, stirring until it dissolves.
3. Slowly add one cup of vodka and stir.
4. Pour mixture into a cup with a spout (for an even pour). I use a measuring cup. Line up limes on a cookie sheet so they are secure and upright. Pour in jello mixture. Refrigerated over night.
5. Carefully (gingerly) quarter the halves with a sharp knife.

ReplyDeleteHi girl...
ReplyDeleteLike the first girl said,,,they add the summer feeling.
Have a great day.
Nice!! I found your blog through the remixer list, and I'm so glad I did. I have a friend's b-day party to go to next weekend, and I was going to make Jello shots. Last year I did rainbow layers in the little cups, and it was awesome but really a pain. This year, I'm going to give these a shot!
ReplyDelete-Jenni @ www.theladyboard.com
So perfect! I'm definitely going to try those this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! They look summery (a plus in midwinter) and delicious. I can see them fitting into the D.C. social scene just fine.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
They do look summery! (funny that you can see the snow out back in the photo) I can't wait for warmer weather anymore. I've only been using bright and light pink nail polish for two weeks now!
ReplyDeleteOMG yum! Such a fantastic idea. I'm gonna try this.

These are adorable!! I love the creativity!
ReplyDeleteThe Limes don't taste as well as lemon or orange peels do.
ReplyDeleteCorley -- I totally agree -- while they look so pretty, they didn't pair as well with the vodka. I may try tequila in these next!
ReplyDeleteHow Creative!!!
ReplyDeletejust found this post - loooove this idea! i have a bachelorette party next weekend that these will be perfect for!
ReplyDeleteThose look great! You had a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these!
ReplyDeleteWhoa Michelle...I'm dropping everything here, off to the market and the liquor store. These will take the edge off our 90+F humid days. Thank you!
ReplyDeletebrilliant!
ReplyDeletelovely presentation
ReplyDeleteI love these, I made them tonight and they look great! I did them in both lemons and limes! I found the easiest way to get the pulp out of the limes was to squeeze the lime to get some juice out, then turn the lime inside out, after that it's a lot easier to peel the lime out. And then flip back the right way quite easily. Just a tip for anyone else making these! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these! Can't wait to make them! :)
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! :) I am going to make them soon!
ReplyDeleteyou could sprinkle some poppy seeds on top for a cute touch that dosn't interfere with the flavors! :)
ReplyDeleteI am taking these to an event I am attending tomorrow. I am positive they will be the life of the party!
ReplyDeleteThese are AWESOME!!!! Best jello shots EVER.
ReplyDeleteI love this! They do look cute ... and could pass as elegant next to your cheese plate!
ReplyDeleteBut I've found this great link to instructions for gelatin shots without the mess and posted on my facebook. Long story short my brother asked me to do something for the adults in your party this weekend a combination of his party's annual crayfish and the graduation of his daughter's high school .
ReplyDeleteomg this is awesome! Just a tip, fill your jello shot containers with a turkey baster for no mess and easy handling. I bet you could float chunks of dark gummies or licorice in this for seeds! The sky is the limit.
ReplyDeleteI made these for my friend's bachelorette party and they were a HUGE hit! Thanks so much for the step by step!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. I'll have to try it some time soon.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I made them a couple of months ago for the adults at my daughter's graduation party. I found that cutting the lime halves into quarters with a pair of scissors went much better than using a knife. I also used a citrus knife (a flat bladed knife, serrated on both sides, with a bend at the tip) to cut around the edge of the limes and scraped the pulp out with a teaspoon.
ReplyDeleteMade these last night...can't wait to show them off!! Not an easy task getting the pulp out but so worth it. Mini muffin tins are perfect for holding the limes upright while the jello sets. :) Thanks Michelle!!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering for these and all the other totally awesome jello shots, when you say "one box of jello" is that the 3oz box or the large 6oz box? Normally I'd assume the smaller because you didn't specify "big box" but all my other jello shot recipes call for the big box so I'm asking. I also want to thank You for sharing these with us, I'm so excited to make the candy corn and caramel apple ones for our Halloween party!!
ReplyDeleteI tried this for a bbq last night and a few cuts and an hour later, i had done 10 limes. Definitely time consuming, but worth it when you see all your mini 'watermelons' lined up. I bought the 6oz box of Jello though and had to keep cutting limes because it made about 18 limes worth of jello. I'm assuming you meant to say use the 3oz box now, though I don't think any of the guests will be complaining about a few extra jello shots!
ReplyDeleteIf you place the lime peel halves in a muffin pan instead of trying to line them on a baking sheet it makes this a million times easier!
ReplyDeleteMade these last night for my friends 30th. Made mine with malibu and a splash of vodka and others with half sour puss and half Malibu both tasted fantastic and ev eryone loved them. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeletePoppy seeds would look cute on these
ReplyDeleteThese were a huge hit at my husbands 40th. Many compliments. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI always love trying different recipes, try these out there some of my favorite http://howtofixstuff.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-fix-various-jello-shots.html

ReplyDeleteLove this idea and all your shots look soo yummy, can't wait to try some. Just Pinned you! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInstead of cookie sheet, a cupcake tin would hold them more stable!
ReplyDeleteGave these a shot and they turned out fabulous!!! Thanks girl, these r now the hit of the party!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great recipe. I've got my lemons setting in the fridge right now, so excited to serve at the Super Bowl party!
ReplyDeleteJust finished three different jello shot recipes to serve at the super bowl party. I used oranges and limes. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteCherry Amaretto Jello Shots: 3 oz cherry jello, 1 c. boiling water, 2 oz. cold water, 6 oz. amaretto. Margarita Jello Shots: 3 oz. watermelon jello, 1 c. boiling water, 4 oz tequila, 4 oz margarita mix. Sex on the Beach Jello Shots: 3 oz. orange jello, 1 c. boiling cranberry juice, 3 oz peach schnapps, 5 oz. vodka.
Just made these super cute taking to a Superbowl party thank you for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteThose look geat. I would love to try to make these.
ReplyDeleteI made these this past weekend for a 40th birthday party and let me tell you, they were a HUGE hit!!
ReplyDeleteI used limes and lemons with raspberry Jell-O and raspberry Sour Puss!
I also placed the cut limes and lemons in or on top of a muffin pan to hold them in place while the Jell-O set up. Works beautifully!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful idea with us! I was even asked by a few people at the party I attended if they could "hire" me to make them for their next party!
The Pictures are so nice! It looks like watermelon honey!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you candy the peels first, the entire thing is edible and adds a nice tang. Just get out more of the pith (white stuff) when you scrape the peels.
ReplyDeleteWondering if you could drop a few chia seeds in each one for effect. Worth trying.
ReplyDeleteThey look soo great with limes! Tomorrow I will make them myself, except I won't use vodka. Cool pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great recipe.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThe trick is to take a paring knife and score around the insides carefully to loosen the citrus, Send gifts to Pakistan from UK.
