Preparation

Step 1

Scoop out watermelon and preserve the melon balls.

Skewer balls

Combine the jello mixes and the unflavored gelatin in one bowl.

Boil water

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jell-O mix and the unflavored gelatin. Add 4 cups of boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the vodka or 4 more cups of cold water all at once and whisk just to combine.

Pour the mixture into the watermelon halves, splitting between the two.

Carefully place the Jell-O filled watermelon bowls in the fridge, and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

When Jell-O is set, cut each half into 1-inch slices, crosswise, then cut each slice into 2–3 wedges, and serve.

Makes about 30 wedge shots.
