Method

  1. Use a spoon to remove the pulp from the lemons, making sure to keep the peel intact.

  2. In a small saucepan, warm the soda and lemon juice. Whisk in the JELL-O packet and continue cooking until the powder is fully dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vodka.

  3. Take a muffin tin and place the lemon halves into the wells. Fill each lemon half with the Jell-O mixture.

  4. Refrigerate the muffin tin until the Jell-O is set, which usually takes at least 3 hours but can be left overnight.

  5. Once set, slice the lemons in half and serve.
