Servings: 3 dozen

Ingredients

• 6 large lemons
• 1 cup pink lemonade
• 2 Knox unflavored gelatin envelopes
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup lemon or citrus vodka - chilled
• Optional - pink food gel

Instructions

• Cut each lemon in half lengthwise. Microwave 2 lemons at a time on high for 15 seconds. Squeeze the juice out of each lemon half and with a spoon, remove the inside pulp and membrane.  (Microwaving a lemon helps release the juice and membrane so much easier)!
• Place the lemon halves inside a large muffin pan to help hold them secure for the addition of the hot jello mixture.
• In a medium saucepan, add the pink lemonade and lemon juice and heat under medium heat for 10 minutes.  Do not allow the lemonade to boil.
• Remove from heat.
• Optional: Add 1-2 drops of pink food color if you desire a darker, richer pink hue. Stir well to incorporate.
• Sprinkle the 2 packets of gelatin into the lemonade mixture and whisk briskly until the gelatin is dissolved.
• Pour the gelatin mixture into a large Pyrex measuring cup or bowl and add the chilled lemon/citrus vodka.  Stir well to distribute.
• Pour the jello mixture into each lemon half, filling almost to the top.  I left about a half an inch space from the top of each lemon.
• Chill overnight or for at least 4 hours.
• Before serving, cut each lemon half into 3 slices.
• ENJOY!!
