Ingredients

Deselect All

1 small seedless watermelon, halved

15 to 20 mint leaves, plus more for garnish (or basil would be good, too!)

Juice from 1/2 lime

1 to 2 tablespoons honey (depending on how sweet you like it)

2 packets unflavored gelatin, such as Knox

3/4 cup vodka or gin

Directions

Scoop out the flesh from the watermelon halves with a spoon or ice cream scoop to yield 2 to 3 cups. (Depending on the size, you may not need the flesh from the second half.) Transfer to a blender. Add the mint and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl.
Pour 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of the 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 the lime juice and honey, and stir. Sprinkle with the gelatin packets. Allow the gelatin to soak in for a minute or two then heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the vodka or gin and pour into the watermelon rinds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Slice into wedges, garnish with mint leaves, and serve!
