Watermelon Jello Shots

Using Watermelon Gelatin: Using a juicer, juice the limes. Let the juice drop through a sieve into a bowl so that you can catch the seeds easily. Reserve the juice for another use. Turn the lime rinds inside out. Find the membrane that connects the pith to the rind and pull on it to separate the pith from the rest of the lime, using a paring knife if needed. Turn the limes right side out so that they resemble hollow cups. Position the lime rinds on a cookie sheet so that their edges are touching. This will ensure that the limes stay upright while the gelatin sets. Boil 1 cup of water on the stovetop in a small saucepan. Add the gelatin to the boiling water and stir the gelatin with a whisk until it completely dissolves. Stir in the vodka. Pour the gelatin mixture into the lime halves. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until the gelatin has set. Cut the lime halves into 4 equal portions, using a sharp chef’s knife. Place the “watermelons” on a tray and serve them.

Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the flesh of the watermelon. Place the watermelon flesh in the container you'll be using to muddle. You can muddle in batches in a traditional mixer, or muddle everything at once in a large bowl. Pour the vodka and liqueur over the watermelon. Muddle the watermelon and the alcohol together.
