Pineapple Bites


After I made my Watermelon Jellies I had some spiked watermelon Jell-O left over, so I paired it with another tropical flavor. Pineapple has such a strong taste, so I knew it would mask any alcohol I added to the recipe; so go ahead and makes these strong!

Watermelon Slices


As promised, back when I did the Lemon Drops, here is my attempt at watermelon jellies! These Jell-O shots look and taste delicious. Try out different types of alcohol with these. I made mine with regular vodka and a splash of melon liqueur, but I would suggest Smirnoff Watermelon vodka or Marie Brizard Watermelon Liqueur.

Sangria Jellies


Sangria is one of my favourite summer drinks. The best part about Sangria is that you can make it to cater any taste. If you prefer a stronger berry taste, add more raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. Or if you like a more citrus Sangria, add more oranges, lemons, or limes.

Below you will find my recipe for classic Sangria, and Sangria Jellies (that I tested out this past weekend).

Lifesaver

I can`t remember the last time I had a lifesaver. Well, I guess you never really have just one lifesaver, you usually end up eating the whole roll. I`m guilty for going through the pack and picking out the red, orange, and yellow ones. I`m a sucker for any cherry flavoured candy, but the pineapple lifesavers were my all time fav.

For this recipe, you can substitute whatever flavour was your favourite (grape, lime, etc.). I couldn`t find a pineapple Jell-O package, so I used orange-pineapple; but again, use whatever lifesaver flavour you like!

Strawberries 'n' Cream


I started making this recipe hoping they would turn out tasting like Strawberry Shortcake, but the vanilla is so strong that all I can think of is strawberries and cream... and they are so good! I used a heavy cream in the first layer but I think melted vanilla ice cream would be so much better, and tastier (if you do use the ice cream, omit the Vanilla extract to avoid the vanilla overpowering the strawberry flavour).

After Eight


This is one of my favourite shots, traditional and now Jelly style! I was a little worried about this one at first, as I didn't use a Jell-O package, but they turned out soo good! If you like the After-Eight chocolate bars... you'll love these!

Lemon Drops


Here is an awesome lemon drop Jell-O shot that is a fan favourite. The recipe is so easy and sets quickly so they are easy for everyone to try out. For these ones in particular I used 3/4 cup plain vodka and 1/4 cup Lemoncello because I didn't have enough Vodka, but you can just use vodka for a stronger shot.
