Farewell with "Watermelon" Jello Shots

Many of you know 2Bit's dear friend Botto.... He likes jello shots.

2Bit saw this fun way of making the shots look like mini watermelon slices. Now this is something fun you could even do with your kiddos, minus the vodka, of course.

We had a watermelon toast to bid Botto farewell. He has moved back to Cinncinnati to begin his job at Deloit, since he is a big time accountant now. 

10 limes, one box of red color jello,  1 cup vodka, 1 cup boiling water
- 10 limes makes 40 jello shots - 

1. Prepare limes by cutting them in halves and hollowing out the peel. This may sound easier than it is. The trick is to take a paring knife and score around the insides carefully to loosen the citrus. Then spoon it out saving the fruit. (I tried making a limeade, but it was a tad bitter)

2. Boil one cup of water and add it to jello mix in a large bowl, stirring until it dissolves. 
3. Slowly add one cup of vodka and stir.

4. Pour mixture into a cup with a spout (for an even pour). I use a measuring cup. Line up limes in a pyrex dish (or something with edges) so they are secure and upright and so that if they do spill, it won't run off the edge. Pour in jello mixture. Refrigerated over night.

5. Carefully quarter the halves with a sharp knife.
