While the temperatures around here are telling me summer if very far off I have been thinking about what drinks I will be making this summer.

I realized the other day that I had not made Jelly shots in quite a while.

I was making them weekly and then I stopped.

Not totally sure why.

But it is Tipsy Tuesday and out came the gelatin.

And the vodka.

Lemonade too.

A few years ago I found Cherry Lemonade gelatin.

It was awesome and I had planned on making these Cherry Lemonade Jelly Shots with the remaining boxes that I had.

But I wanted to make sure you would be able to find it.

Except, as suspected, they don’t make it anymore.

Who do they think they are?

Trader Joes. 🙂

Anyway, I used Jolly Rancher Cherry Gelatin.

I find it has more intense flavor, that is a little on the tart side.

If you don’t want to get the Jolly Rancher Gelatin you can use just regular cherry Jell-O.

I find the Jolly Rancher gelatin at Winco.

But I realize not everyone has a Winco so you can buy it on Amazon.

If you can, use fresh squeezed lemonade, it does make a difference.

No time for fresh squeezed?

In the words of Ina Garten…store bought is fine. 🙂

If you prefer you can make these into Cherry Limeade Jelly Shots.

Sonic has made Cherry Limeade a big thing and it’s easy to sub out the lemonade for limeade.

Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀
