I recently had a get-together with friends and was looking for some fun appetizer recipes online. I came across the following recipe for Orange Slice Jello Shots and they looked so interesting, I just had to try them. Now, I realize I’m not 18 nor are any of my mommy friends, but I thought this was something fun to try for a change from the usual! They are actually really easy to make!
Ingredients:
Oranges (we also used limes)
Pkg of Jello Powder
Vokda
You gotta love recipes with simple ingredients like this! Simply cut the oranges in half (my husband and I argued over which is the proper way to half it, in the end it doesn’t really matter) and scoop out the insides.
Place halves into muffin tins.
Prepare jello as usual except substitute vodka for the water portion (yum!) then pour liquid into the orange halves.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
When ready, slice into halves or thirds and enjoy!
I think it would be fun to experiment with different jello colors – the original recipe I read suggested orange jello but I like the green (you could even use team colors for parties, etc.).
I cannot make jello if my life depended on it! We have been to many, many jello shooter parties up there. Good memories! This is such a great idea!
LOVE IT!! I may have to host a party now, just to try them, LOL!
That is so neat! Thanks for sharing.
Ha!! I’m totally making these this weekend for a girls night!!! AND I’m forwarding this to my 18 year old sister. Does that make me a bad older sister?? Oh well. 😉
And I’m going to make strawberry or raspberry. Pink and orange?!?! FABULOUS!!!!
I may try a non-alcoholic version of these 😉
i knew a girl that used to make jello shots with different types of alcohol- i think these would be great with malibu rum or something fruity! great idea- thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh yummy. I’m on that boat. I can’t stand vodka but I love Malibu and Jello
Yes, Malibu rum is excellent for jello shots!
made these without the vodka for my son’s 5th birthday party last month. huge hit!
These are wonderful. So easy and very pretty. I would shoot way to many down my throat haha
Love it. Just make sure you let the kids know they can’t have it. My son would be after these so fast because he loves jello. Or make some that don’t have alcohol in them for the kids to enjoy.
Those look dangerous!
omg i love the team color idea as we’re Bears fans so blue jello would be perfect. But I’d make them nonalcoholic.
Mmm, they look mighty tasty!
Those are CUTE!
I LOVE vodka jello shots… how cool to put them into orange and lime halves. I have a lemon tree in my back yard, I could use those, too. I really like your idea of using the team colors for game day. I am definitely going to try this – its so much easier than trying to such the jello out of those little cups. =)
FUN! I bet these are a hit at parties!
OMG love this! I will def give them a try on the weekend of my 30th bday party if I can get anyone to come visit me!
Yum, that a fun recipe!
These look so delicious and refreshing.
Orange Slice Jello Shots,wow these look awesome i am going make these soon thanks
these could be scarey but look too good not to try
This is awesome and a fun twist to the traditional jello shots. I’ll be sharing it with my friend who is the queen of jello shots on FB.
