Orange Slice Jello Shots
February 11, 2009
I can’t take any credit for this recipe, since I adapted it entirely from WikiHow. The one thing I can add, is to recommend slicing the oranges from top to bottom, rather than around the equator, since they tend to leak through the ends. Everyone at the party loved these and devoured them within minutes.
• 6 oranges
• 2 cups boiling water
• 6 oz. package of orange Jello
• 3/4 cup cold water
• 1 1/2 cups chilled vodka
1. Slice oranges in half and slide a spoon between skin and fruit to remove cleanly*.
2. Bring water to a boil, and remove from heat.
3. Stir Jello into hot water until dissolved, then stir in cold water and vodka.
4. Set orange peel halves into shallow cups or glasses on a tray so that the edges are
level and fill with jello liquid to the rim.
5. Let cool overnight in the refrigerator and slice each half into thirds with two
vertical cuts.
*Reserve the orange fruit to juice for mimosas in the morning. If you have executed the
rest of this recipe properly, you will need them.

those look SO delicious!
These were so awesome. I’m envisioning all sorts of fun citrus shells and random Jell-o flavors for a fun rainbow option. Maybe I should have a Rainbo Brite party.
