Ingredients for Tequila Sunrise Jell-O Shots:

3 navel oranges
4oz of grenadine
2oz of maraschino cherry juice
2 packs of plain gelatin
Tequila

How to Make Tequila Sunrise Jell-O Shots:

Step 1

Cut the oranges in half, then scrape out the inside of the fruit using a spoon, and transfer the flesh to a wire-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Press the orange flesh down to drain the juice until you have about 6 ounces, then set them aside, and place the hollowed orange halves in a muffin tin.

Step 2

Place a small saucepan on a stove over low heat, then add 2 ounces of orange juice, and pour in the grenadine and maraschino cherry juice. Give them a good whisk to combine, then add the gelatin and let it bloom for about 30 seconds, and then whisk them to dissolve.

Step 3

Pour the mixture evenly onto the orange halves, then place them in the refrigerator, and let them chill for about 30 minutes until set and slightly firm. Rinse the saucepan and put it back on the stove, then add in the remaining 4 ounces of orange juice along with the other gelatin, stir them well until dissolved, and turn off the heat.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the stove, then add in the tequila, and give them a good stir to combine. Pour the mixture on top of the first layer of Jell-O you poured earlier, then put the back in the refrigerator, and let them continue to chill for about 4 more hours or until fully set. Slice them into wedges, then serve, and enjoy!
