We've all enjoyed the insanity a few too many jell-o shots can bring, those little shooter dixie cups, slamming them back a little too quickly. However, as I've grown up, so has my need for presentation. So jell-o shooters in little dixie cups are no longer pretty enough for me.
So I found this recipe, and all of my problems were solved.
Although, I warn you against using pineapples.
Jell-O Preparation
One large packet (6 ounces) of Jell-O (pick flavor for color)
16 ounces boiling water
6 ounces cold water
10 ounces vodka
Simply pour Jell-O packet into large bowl and add boiling water. Once the mixture is completely dissolved, proceed with cold water and then vodka. Then I usually set it aside while I prep the fruit.
Pick a fruit a supportive rind, example, orange NOT apple.
Now, remove the flesh of the fruit, don't poke a hole in the skin/rind though, or you may spring a leak. Actually, you will spring a leak!
I found the easiest way to gut the fruit, is just as you would a pumpkin. Slice the top off, and scoop out the flesh & seeds.
Now that you have Jell-O mix and a gutted fruit, just fill them up. I recommend having them already placed in a walled dish so you don’t slosh them around. Once filled, place in the fridge for four hours. Alcohol can make the firming process of gelatin take longer.
Once the jell-o has set, slice your fruit into fruit slices, and serve, carefully of course!
And enjoy! Just remember, jell-o shots hide the flavour of alcohol really, really well, so don't over-do it. I don't want to hear of anyone in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
Highly recommend using bubble gum flavored vodka in your jello shots!
