Made orange and grape for a Clemson tailgate and they were a huge hit! I am on the list from now on to make the Jell-O shots. ( I used Pinnacle Whip Cream Vodka)

I personally don't like jello shots, but they were popular at the party they were served at. I would definitely make them again. Also, the fruit wedge presentation is just beautiful. Each batch filled 4 orange halves and 1 lemon or lime. It's very easy to do, cut fruit in half, hollow out and place in muffin tins to hold stable, pat down rind, fill to brim with jello (shrinks while gels a little). Once firm (6 or so hour later) place flat side down on cutting board and slice orange halves into 4 slices.

I apologize that I'm just getting around to reviewing these now, however, these were fantastic! They had quite a kick and the guests at the party raved about them! I made them for a Halloween party and placed a gummy worm in them before I placed them in the refrigerator to set. They looked creepy but were oh-so-yummy and intoxicating! lol! Thanks for posting!

From experience, for the best jello shots use a schnapps instead of vodka...peach jello with peach schnapps, watermelon jello with watermelon pucker or Midori, for some examples. Just combine a fruit flavored schnapps with a fruit flavored jello and ta-da, yummy jello shots! DeKuyper has tons of fruit flavored schnapps, puckers, and ready to drink shots in a bottle that are perfect!

I've made hot buttered rum jello shots with lemon jello as well, and they were a huge hit! (Yes, you use real butter in them!) Replace vodka with spiced rum, add cinnamon, nutmeg, Jamaican allspice, and a little bit of butter and brown sugar, and voila!
