Apart from being absolutely gorgeous, these are sooo delicious! They are super easy to make and so refreshing. These are citrusy, boozy and spicy! Trust me… these will be the talk of your next pool party.

How To Prepare Lemon Jello Shots
🔪 First, carefully cut off the ends of the lemons so they are able to stand firm on their own, but don’t cut past the pith.
🍋 Secondly, slice lemon in half and using a citrus juicer extract as much as you can out. I don’t like to completely hollow them out as I love eating the remains with more chamoy and tajin.
🍯 Bring the water, honey and monk fruit to a boil.
🍾 Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice and let stand 1-3 minutes. Then, add in hot liquid and mix well, until incorporated. Strain. Add in some tajin and mezcal.
🌶 Lastly, rim the lemons with chamoy and tajin, fill them with the mezcalita and place in a tall sided container. Place in the fridge, mine solidified in 1 hour.
