Servings: 12 shots
Cost: $15
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1/2 ounce unflavored gelatin about 2 packets
- 3 ounces lemon Jello 1 small box
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup Elderflower liqueur such as St-Germain

Instructions
- Slice and juice your lemons, or use oranges for larger citrus cups. You'll need ¼ cup of juice. Scoop out any leftover pulp from the halves and place them in a mini muffin pan to keep them upright.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let it bloom for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir in the lemon Jello until completely dissolved.
- Stir in the elderflower liqueur and Prosecco.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the citrus halves or a mini muffin pan, leaving a little space at the top.
- Chill for 2 to 4 hours, or until fully set. Slice citrus cups into wedges with a sharp knife and garnish with fresh mint before serving.

Notes
- Use large, firm citrus so the cups hold plenty of jello mixture and keep their shape.
- A mini muffin pan keeps the citrus halves upright while they chill.
- Make these up to one day ahead and slice just before serving. Best within 2 days.
- For a non-alcoholic version, use elderflower syrup and sparkling water in place of the liqueur and Prosecco.
