To be totally honest with you, I just had my first ever jello shot recently. Hence, the inspiration for these Edible Flower Lemon Jello Shots recipe.

Despite being new to the world of jello shots, I do love some jello for the sake of how simple it is to make and how low-calorie a homemade version can be.

Plus, I’ve been around long enough to know there is a need for a much prettier (or classier) version of the aforementioned jello shots!

Technically, this Edible Flower Lemon Jello Shot is just served in miniature shot glass portions. But you can make them with or without the booze.

For your guide on how to make the ultimate jello shots, check them with an easy how-to.

They’re just as cute (and tasty) whether you make them as a co*cktail or mocktail.

Top them with a sprinkle of edible flowers and it’s like your own mini dose of spring all year long…

How to Make Easy Lemon Jello Shots

Step 1 — Heat the gelatin, water, lemon juice, and sugar over the stove as you traditionally would for about 5-10 minutes or until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 2 — Remove from heat and add in the liquor at the very end or it will evaporate.

How to Make A Mocktail Version

For a non-alcoholic version of this lemon jello shot recipe, skip the Vodka and Cointreau and replace them with the equivalent amount of water.

So you would use a total of 4 1/2 cups of water.

You can also use a traditional 8″x8″ pan. Right before serving, cut the lemon jello into mini square bites to serve.
