Watermelon Mint Jello Shots image

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 of a large watermelon
15-20 mint leaves, plus more for garnish (or basil would be good too!)
Juice from 1/2 a lime
1-2 tablespoons honey (depending on how sweet you like it)
2 packets Knox gelatin
3/4 cup vodka or gin

Steps:

Carefully hollow out watermelon to create a "boat" to hold jello mixture.
Combine watermelon (about 2-3 cups) with mint in a blender and process until smooth. Strain solids through mesh strainer.
Pour 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of the watermelon-mint juice into a small saucepan. (Use less liquid for a firmer shot or if you plan to set them out for a long period of time). Add lime juice and honey and sprinkle with gelatin packets. Allow to soak in for a minute or two and heat until everything is dissolved, stirring constantly.
Stir in alcohol and pour into the hollowed-out watermelon. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice into wedges, garnish with fresh mint and serve!
