Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Oranges
- 3 ounces Flavored gelatin mix (e.g., orange, strawberry, or your choice)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 0.5 cup Vodka (or alcohol of choice)
Instructions
Cut each orange in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh using a spoon, being careful not to puncture the rind. Reserve the flesh for another use or discard it.
Once the orange halves are cleaned, place them in a muffin tin or on a baking tray so they remain stable and level.
In a medium mixing bowl, pour the flavored gelatin mix.
Add 1 cup of boiling water to the gelatin mix and stir until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
Stir in 0.5 cups of cold water and 0.5 cups of vodka. Mix until combined.
Carefully pour the prepared gelatin mixture into the hollowed-out orange halves, filling each one to the brim.
Place the tray or muffin tin with the orange halves in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Once the gelatin is set, use a sharp knife to cut each orange half into 2-3 wedges, mimicking orange slices.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
