Orange Jello Shot Recipe

Jello shots are a party classic, but they do involve a lot of shot glasses – and either you go the disposable route (which is a lot of waste) or invest in several dozen glass shot glasses (which is a lot of money).

Today, we’re sharing with you a fun and fruity third option – serving jello shots in fruit peels! Orange rinds, to be precise. This orange creamsicle jello shot recipe is placed inside of hollowed-out orange rinds and then set to perfection. The rinds are sliced further into bite-sized, individual slices for the perfect party treat!

RELATED: Love creamsicle flavored goodies? Our homemade orange creamsicle gummies are a delicious snack or dessert and doesn’t require any fancy equipment to make.

Of course, if Orange Creamsicle isn’t your flavor of choice, you can mix it up with your preferred Jell-O and flavored vodka to create your own unique flavor blend. Maybe Watermelon Lime? Or Cherry Vanilla? There are literally dozens of possible flavor mixes to choose from.

After preparing the orange shots, you will have a lot of leftover oranges – perfect for our Orange Sweet Rolls or our Orange Moscow Mules. (Or just save them for day-after fresh squeezed orange juice.)

Ingredients for Orange Jello Shots

• 1 package Orange Jell-O
• 1 cup boiling water1
• 1 cup vanilla vodka
• 5 oranges

Makes 5 servings, or 30 slices.

Tip: you may find it easier to reduce the vodka in this recipe by 1/4 cup – ours took a few hours to set and less liquid would allow a faster setting time.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 package Orange Jell-O
• ▢ 1 cup boiling water
• ▢ 1 cup vanilla vodka
• ▢ 5 orange rinds

Instructions

• Boil the kettle for the boiling water as you prepare the oranges.
• Cut oranges in half and use a spoon to remove the flesh (fruit). You can use a knife but you risk cutting into the rind.
• Set the orange fruit aside for another recipe.
• Place all empty orange halves in a muffin tray for steady balance.
• When the kettle is boiled, place the Orange Jell-O in a small bowl or large measuring cup and dissolve with 1 cup boiling water.
• Stir well until Jell-O is completely dissolved.
• Add 1 cup vodka of choice and stir well.
• Pour the orange Jell-O mixture into the orange rinds, filling to the brim.
• Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• When Jell-O is set and ready to serve, slice each half into 4 slices. Do this carefully and with a sharp knife - too much rocking back and forth will pull the Jell-O from the sides of the orange and ruin that slice.

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It's important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
