These Rainbow Sherbet Jello Shots have a layer of raspberry sherbet, lime sherbet, and orange sherbet flavors and have a vodka base.
I’m not sure if it actually happened or if it’s just what I remember.
But growing up I only remember getting to have rainbow sherbet in the summer months.
I loved the pastel colors and the variety.
Just like neapolitan ice cream, I used to eat each flavor separately.
Starting with orange.
Then lime.
And finally raspberry.
I’ve made many a baked good on this blog using orange sherbet.
Plus, I have made an orange sherbet jello shot as well.
Those turned out fantastic so I thought why not rainbow sherbet jello shots.
I mean, can you really go wrong with melted sherbet and vodka?
The answer is no. 🙂
These do take far more time than the orange sherbet jello shots.
Simply because of the time between each layer.
As you can see from the photos I experimented with how to layer them.
Some had the straight horizontal layers. A few had angled layers.
And a couple I filled a little early while they weren’t fully set to try and make a swirl effect.
That sort of worked.
I suggest that when you use the melted sherbet that you do your best to match the colors.
So when you are making the raspberry layer you try and get as much raspberry sherbet in that layer.
With rainbow sherbet it’s a little harder since it’s swirled together but try.
Otherwise you can get a weird color going and you want to try and keep the colors as they are.
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀
