Ingredients
- Make sure to use a sharp knife or you will end up with mangled wedges. Share and Enjoy:
- Empty out the citrus of your choice to create a vessel.
- Juice the citrus first as it makes for easier pulp removal. Save extracted juice for later recipes.
- Use either a grapefruit knife to hollow out the citrus, or the easier way, is to turn them inside out like the picture and dig deeply in to the pith until you catch the thin membrane holding the pulp and then peel back.
- Make sure to completely clean out your citrus or the pulp will show in the wedges.
- Make the Jell-O according to the instructions on the box and then reduce the cold water portion by 1/4 cup and replace with your chilled drink mix. Place emptied citrus into muffin pan holes. Pour mixture into emptied citrus and chill overnight.
- Use a straight edge knife to cut into wedges. Do not use a serrated knife or it will leave track marks.

~ Get your tailgate on with these fun jello shots re-envisioned into lemon wedges. Good food, good fun, and . . . some darn good Jell-o shots to add to your tailgate party or Sunday football potluck gatherings.
That being said, I will be bringing these fun Lemon Drop Jell-O Shots. I debuted these a few years back and it’s been tradition that I bring them every year for kick off. Which is fine by me since they are incredibly easy to make and are always a huge hit.
I also made limes and oranges, but they didn’t make it in the final picture. The limes were too mangled from my dull knife and oranges for some reason took on a glowing effect when photographed.
Juice the citrus first as it makes for easier pulp removal. Save extracted juice for later recipes.
Make sure to completely clean out your citrus or the pulp will show in the wedges.
Make the Jell-O according to the instructions on the box and then reduce the cold water portion by ¼ cup and replace with your chilled drink mix. Place emptied citrus into muffin pan holes. Pour mixture into emptied citrus and chill overnight.
Make sure to use a sharp knife or you will end up with mangled wedges.

what are your drink mixes of choice? im assuming something with the name lemon drop?
these are amazing!! What a fantastically creative idea. I made these last night, but I also added clementines with orange jello (and of course vodka). Great job…keep um comin.
This is such a great idea! Just wondering though, about how many lemons would it take to make a batch? I would hate to not have enough rinds prepared before I started pouring in the Jell-O.
Hi Naomi, these look amazing and I want to make them this weekend, any suggestions on the “chilled drink mix” not sure what to use..Thanks
I made the lime ones for a party recently – only I added mint and rum for mojito shots. Thank you so much for the idea – it was tons of fun!
This is a really innovative Idea. I have to add this to my “Device” Recipe Book
