Orange Sliced Jello Shots!

Regardless of the party, these jello shots are always a hit! I made these for the first time for a Halloween party because the orange fit the occasion. I made them again for my birthday party a few months ago but I used a variety of flavors such as raspberry, blackberry fusion etc. (the red color has a really nice contrast with the orange peel) 

Ingredients:

• .5 liter of Vodka
• 6 (small box) packs of jello mix or 3 (big box) packs of jello mix
• water
• 15 symmetrical medium oranges (each orange makes 6 orange slices)

Preparation:

1. Wash the oranges, pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the oranges in half, and carefully with a spoon take out the pulp. Lay the halves on paper towels to dry. 
2. Clear a shelf in the refrigerator to make room for the trays.

Instructions:

1. The jello box will say to add 1 cup of boiling water  to the jello mix ( or 2 cups of boiling water to the jello mix, depending on the size of the jello mix.) 
2. Next the jello box will say to add 1 cup of cold water. Instead, mix in 1/2 cup of cold water, and 1/2 cup of vodka.
3. Place the orange halves on a baking tray or cupcake tray. Pour the jello-vodka mixture into the orange halves. Place in the refrigerator overnight, or for about 4-5 hours to set. 
4. Once the halves are set, slice into thirds! 

Approximate Total Cost: $9-10 for 90 orange shots!

Enjoy!
