With summer coming up, we ought to have some delicious and refreshing summer desserts. Let me introduce to you this cool and tasty summer treat that will impress everyone at any party or a get-together. Watermelon jello shots. Impressed yet?
Well, in case you’re not, then give me another chance. In addition to its fruity and refreshing taste, there is a pinch of vodka in it that goes really well with the jello and the strawberries. But of course, there is a kid-friendly version with the same delightful taste minus the vodka.

- cup sliced melon
- ½ cup vodka
