Lemon Drop Jell-O Shots inside a Lemon Peel

Lemon Drop Jell-O Shots inside a Lemon Peel
Ingredients
- 8 large lemons
- 2 packages lemon Jello 3oz each
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup lemon vodka
- 0.5 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 cup ice cold water
- sugar for dipping, optional
Method
- Halve your lemons lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving only the peels. Use a grapefruit knife or a sharp mini melon baller to hollow out your lemons. Make sure to completely clean out your citrus or the pulp will show through the Jell-O wedges. Save the pulp for the lemon juice.
- In a large bowl, combine the 2 boxes of lemon Jell-O with the one cup of boiling water. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved.
- Add the vodka, lemon juice and cold water to your dissolved jello. Stir well.
- Place emptied lemon halves on a baking sheet or use a muffin tin to hold them upright. Pour mixture into the citrus and chill overnight.
- Use a very sharp, straight edge knife to cut into wedges. Do not use a serrated knife or it will leave marks.
- Serve with sugar. If you dip in sugar serve immediately because the sugar will start dissolving on the wedge.
Notes
Must chill overnight for Jell-O to set. Use a straight edge knife rather than serrated knife for clean cuts. If using sugar for dipping, serve immediately as it will dissolve on contact with the Jell-O.
