We’ve all been to a tailgate party where someone breaks out the Jell-O shots. And yes, that person usually becomes one of the more popular people there. Here is a new way you can serve Jell-O shots without using those little plastic containers or Dixie cups. Now you can serve Jell-O shots at a tailgate party using orange wedges to hold the Jell-O.
Orange Wedge Jell-O Shots
What you’ll need:
2 oranges
1 package orange flavored Jell-O
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup Vodka
Directions:
1. Slice oranges in half. Using a spoon, scoop out all the flesh and divider pith. Put aside for later use.
2. In a bowl, mix Jell-O and boiling water using a wire whisk. When all of the Jell-O has dissolved, add vodka and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour liquid Jell-O into orange halves. Cover with plastic cling wrap and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Once Jell-O is firm, slice each half into 3 wedges and serve.
Makes 12 Jell-O shots.
