How to Fill a Fruit With Jell-O Shots

Serve Jell-O with alcohol is hollowed-out fruit.

Jell-O shots are a creative way to serve up alcohol at parties. By adding vodka to the usual Jell-O recipe, the classic dessert becomes a tasty, adults-only refreshment. Jell-O shots are most commonly served in small, disposable paper cups, but you can serve your Jell-O shots in a tasteful, eye-catching container. Hollowed-out fruits make the ideal Jell-O shot receptacle. Cut the filled fruit into slices for individual shots. Citrus fruit works best for this, since the rind is sturdy and won't break down once the fruit is cut. One package of Jell-O makes enough for two large oranges, four lemons, or six limes.

Things You'll Need

• Citrus fruit
• 1 package flavored Jell-O
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup vodka

Instructions

1. Slice each piece of fruit in half. Remove all the flesh from the rind with a spoon.

2. Combine the package of Jell-O with boiling water. Stir until the Jell-O has completely dissolved. Add the vodka to the mixture.

3. Pour the liquid Jell-O into the fruit halves. Place in the refrigerator until the gelatin has set, about four hours.

4. Remove the Jell-O-filled fruit halves from the refrigerator. Slice the fruit into wedges and serve.
