Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Lemon Cups: Halve the lemons lengthwise. Gently use a paring knife to separate the pulp from the rind. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving the lemon peel halves intact. Reserve these hollowed peels. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Dissolve the Gelatin: In a small saucepan, heat the pink lemonade over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the gelatin until it is completely dissolved, ensuring no lumps remain. This should take about 5 minutes.

03

Step

Combine the Liquids: In a mixing bowl, combine the gelatin mixture with the lemon vodka and regular vodka. Stir well to ensure a uniform blend of flavors. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Arrange the Lemon Peels: Place the lemon peel halves on a plate or a small rimmed baking sheet, positioning them side by side to keep them upright. Use foil or ramekins to prop them up if needed, ensuring they remain stable during filling. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Fill the Lemon Cups: Carefully pour the pink lemonade mixture into each lemon peel, filling them to the brim. (Prep time: 8 minutes)

06

Step

Chill Until Set: Transfer the filled lemons to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until the jello is firm and fully set. (Chill time: 3+ hours)

07

Step

Garnish and Serve: Once set, slice each lemon half into wedges. Just before serving, sprinkle with sanding sugar and edible glitter for a dazzling presentation. Keep chilled until ready to serve. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

For a stronger lemon flavor, consider zesting one of the lemons and adding the zest to the pink lemonade while heating.
If you don't have lemon vodka, you can substitute with plain vodka and a tablespoon of lemon juice.
To easily slice the jello shots, dip the knife in warm water between each cut.
These jello shots can be made a day in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out.
