1. Paper towels
2. 2 large bowls (one to mix the Jell-O, one for the watermelon you’ll scoop out)
3. 2 small sheet trays or baking dishes (each needs to be big enough to fit a watermelon half)
4. Liquid measuring cup
5. Electric kettle (or you can boil water another way)
6. Cutting board
7. Kitchen spoon
8. Whisk
9. Chef’s knife

5. First, cut your watermelon in half, lengthwise.

6. (That’ll leave you with two equal halves.)

Keep in mind when you’re cutting the watermelon that you don’t want the halves to roll around as the Jell-O sets. So, if there’s a flatter part, make that the base for one of your halves.

7. Use your knife to slice all the way around the perimeter of the watermelon flesh, about an inch from the rind.

Be careful not to pierce the skin, since this will lead to leakage.

9. Scrape down the insides so that the surface is relatively smooth and there’s about half an inch of red flesh left on the rind.

10. You’ll end up with two watermelon “bowls” ready to be filled with delicious, boozy Jell-O.

11. To keep the watermelon bowls from moving around on the trays, you’ll have to create a bed with paper towels.

First, line the bottom of each tray with two paper towels.

12. Then, put two folded paper towels on opposite sides of each tray. Your watermelon will lie in that gap in the middle.

13. Add all of the Jell-O mix and all of the unflavored gelatin to your mixing bowl.

Boxed Jell-O mix already has gelatin in it, but for this recipe you need to add extra, since you want extra-firm Jell-O shots that will hold the shape of the watermelon slices and look impressive and amazing.

14. Add 4 cups of boiling water and whisk together for 2 minutes, until all of the gelatin has dissolved.

15. Then add 4 cups of vodka, and whisk just to mix everything together.

16. Now, divide the Jell-O mixture between the watermelon bowls on the paper towel-lined trays.

17. Refrigerate for 4 hours, until the Jell-O is completely set.

The Jell-O will shrink a little bit as it sets, which is OK.

18. Now, it’s just a matter of slicing! First cut each half into 1-inch slices, crosswise.
