Pink Lemonade Jello Shots

This actually makes 48 shots, since you're quartering each of the 12 lemons. I made these shots for super bowl, and used strawberry lemonade and lemon jello. They were SO good & nice looking, but I would recommend that they be eaten immediately after setting. I made them a day ahead and by the time we ate them, they were a bit bitter from sitting in the rind over night. We added some sugar on top which took the bitterness away, but they are definitely better when eaten right away.

Make these for tailgating! We are UF fans so I used Oranges and filled them with blue jello! Go Gators!

Hi! This recipe makes 12 shots. Enjoy!

About how many shots does this make?

mine came out super tart. what kind of pink lemonade did you use?

Helps if you set the lemon halves into cupcake tins do they stand up and don't spill your precious vodka!

I heat 1 cup cherry coke zero to a boil and disolve a package of cherry jello in it. I then add a cup of chilled cherry rum, mix, and pour into plastic shot glasses to set. You can also use orange jello, diet orange soda, and whipped vodka.

Using plain gelatin means that you can make it any flavor that you would like. That's why we choose pink lemonade in this recipe. If you use flavored gelatin, you may want to skip the pink lemonade unless it will taste good with the flavor of the gelatin. Have fun with these. They're awesome!

When you guys use flavored jello do you still use the pink lemonade juice?

l was invited to a bar be que and was served these shots made in a orange cut into slices and they were wonderful.

@kimTee07 I cut them long ways.

After they are ready to serve, do h cut the lemons long ways or short ways?

Whoever said they only use a 1/2 cup of vodka for their jello shots in college probably went to BYU. Hahaha LOSER!

Sure! This can be a kid's treat. All you need to do is remove the vodka and voila!

is this a kids appetizers. too?

Keep the lemons in half, then just pour the gelatin mixture into the lemon from the saucepan.

How do I get the jello in the lemon

The sweetness from the pink lemonade really masks the liquor! I will definetely be making these again soon

I also made these for the 4th of July! Big sucess! I did half witg strawberry jello, and half with lime jello. Delicious.

I made this today for the fourth with oranges and cherry jello. ^_^ yumm!! With banana vlavored vodka!!

I make sure I use liquor that has been chilling in the freezer.

The lemons are a cute idea but if you don't have a sharp enough knife, it all crumbles. Personally I use ice cube trays. I also use the standard size gelatin and pink lemonade concentrate from the frozen food section, but I like mine sour.

I used everclear and doubled the recipe but used a lime jello and a strawberry. Delicious!

to hold the shape, simply cut the lemons in half and scrape them out. pour the mixture in the lemon halves when refrigating. when they are ready, slice them with a very shapr knife!

The recipe as is only fills about 8 lemons. I used lemon jello (the regular sized box) and raspberry lemonade. They didn't turn out pink because of the jello, but good anyways!!

A cup of vodka seems a bit much. I've made jello shots very frequently in college and I typically use a 1/2 cup of vodka. The ones we made with a whole cups where always too strong and the ones that no one wanted because it was like you were taking a straight shot of vodka.

You Should wait until it cools off to add the vodka or booze of choice it cooks the booze because it's to hott! I make about 1000 jello shots every month for the past work

*hiccup* Tried this last night...but I deviated a bit. I used strawberry flavored jello and strawberry flavored vodka. I used 4 packets of jello (expecting a big crowd) and followed the directions on the packet. I subbed 2 cups of cold water with 2 (or 3) cups of vodka (my crew are lushes). I also added about a cup of sugar to sweeten it up a bit. I didn't have enough lemons to fill so I used a bundt cake pan to mold the remaining jello. I displayed the lemons shots around the bundt jello mold. Impressive! Can't wait to try some of your suggestions!

Two 3.0 oz jello packets worked for me. The directions weren't very clear on that. But I did mine with lemon flavored hello and they were extremely sour!! Day 2 they were much better and mellow and tasted delicious!

Add a little heave whipping cream and you will be in heaven. Sooo good

We have tried the orange , grapefruit, and a watermelon and there were all so good

how do you make the shape stay?

I wonder if they meant "lemonade concentrate". I made these with lemonade and they didn't taste like much of anything.

I just made these tonight.. Did it a little different. I used Knox, unflavored gelatin. Came in a box of 32 envelopes. used 4 for this recipe. I cut the lemons and squeezed about a cup of the juice, added that to two cups of pink lemonade. Then I cut up about seven or so strawberries into very small pieces, added a little sugar and soaked them in 1/4 cup of Absolute Citron vodka. brought the juice to a boil. Added my gelatin to 3/4 of a cup of the vodka,stirred for a few minutes. Then I added the Strawberries and the heated juice... mixed, poured into the lemon halves and put them in the fridge for about two hours. they came out delicious! However, next time I will use 1 1/2 of vodka.

Made these for a Girls Night Out party this past weekend and everyone LOVED them! I am not a big drinker and not a huge fan of lemons but once I chased this treat with a little coconut rum, I was all smiles. A little sour. A little sweet. Perfect. :)

Altered this a little bit for St Paddy's day! Made lemon lime jello shots. Used lime jello, more vodka and lemon juice and sprite instead of pink lemonade. :)

I made orange shots and they were not very good next time I will use orange jello.

Adding alcohol to hot liquid can cause an explosive reaction. Use Caution!!!

Wonder how making orange shots would turn out?

I can't wait to try them

I'll just save four hours and shoot vodka.

the gelatin is probably a 1/4 ounce sleeve. any more than that and youll have piggy tasting pink lemonade!

yummy!!

This recipe is so unclear.

Can anyone let me know what size gelatin pack to get? They vary and the recipe is unclear. Thanks, in advance.

Great summer treat for adults.

setting them in a cupcake pan makes moving them to the fridge easy and holds their shape if you have thin rind fruit

can this be done with package jello and no vodka?

I made some this afternoon and found that a grapefruit spoon worked great for scooping out the lemons. I also needed twice the amount of gelatin, vodka, and pink lemonade as some of the lemons were larger.

Questions: 1.) What tool did you use to scoop out the lemons?? 2.) I made real cute jello shots in limes, but the rind of the lime gave the shots a super bitter taste - did you have this problem as well?

I've got to start eating more fruit. These look incredible!
