Sippin' through Summer & the 4th of July! I've collected some of my favorite summertime refreshing cocktails or mocktails!
Layered Watermelon Jello Shots Can't get enough jello shots! (Geaux Tigers) STEP ONE: Make the green layer. In a large measuring cup (or mixing bowl with a spout), add 1 cup of boiling water and the green jello. Whisk until dissolved and then add in 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup cold water and whisk again. Pour evenly into small plastic shot glasses (1 oz shown), that have been set onto a tray or lipped baking sheet, filling approximately 1/4 to 1/2 way up. Place the entire tray into the fridge for approximately 30 minutes or until green layer is firm.STEP TWO: Make the next color the same way. In a large measuring cup (or mixing bowl with spout), add 1 cup of boiling water and the pink jello and whisk until dissolved. Add in 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup cold water and whisk again. Let the mixture cool slightly and then pour the rest of the way on top of the set green layer. Place the tray back into the fridge for approximately 2 hours to fully set. STEP THREE: Garnish and serve. Once fully set, add a sour candy to the top of each shot, add the lids and serve! Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
