Sour Watermelon Jell-O Shots
You've probably seen watermelon rinds filled with Jell-O; our version takes the idea a bit further. Here we use the watermelon juice from the scooped-out watermelon, spike it with a splash of vodka, and give it a sour flavor so it tastes just like your favorite candy. The result is an adult-friendly summer party pleaser.

Toasted Marshmallow Shots
Consider this recipe the ultimate s’more: toasted marshmallows are scooped out and filled with a mixture of chocolate pudding and a splash of liqueur. For extra decadence, serve the shots with graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Firecracker Shots
Is there a more festive way to celebrate summer than with flag-topped red, white and blue gelatin shots? The layers are sweetened with blue curacao and grenadine, spiked with vodka and topped with whipped cream. They'll be a bigger party hit than the fireworks themselves.

Peach Bellini Party Shots
What’s not to love about prosecco and peach? These shots are made in a baking dish, but they would definitely work in single-portion cups if you'd like a more portable option.
