Dorm recipe: No oven? No stove? No problem! Orange slice jello shots By Olivia Simone/ Print Manager
With the arrival of spring break and Daylight Savings, I could already feel it in my bones—it was time to break out citrus-flavored Jello shots to welcome BC’s best time of year. These orange peel shots easily top the usual flimsy paper cup ones. Plus, they taste infinitely better. Best for darties and daytime get togethers like Marathon Monday. Cheers!

• •
4 medium oranges 3 oz. orange flavored Jello (Try substituting mango for the orange flavor. It still tastes delicious!) 1 cup vodka (we opted for Stoli) 1 cup boiling water
Directions: 1) Slice oranges lengthwise (so that the central column is parallel to the knife) 2) Spoon out the pulp all the way to the pith without breaking the rind. If you have a muffin tin, rest the orange halves on the muffin pan to keep them upright and rounded. Otherwise, try cutting red cups in half. 3) Boil the water. While waiting, pour the vodka to set aside. 4) In a large bowl, mix the Jello packet and the boiling water thoroughly, then add the vodka.

5) Immediately after mixing, carefully pour the mixture into each orange half. Don’t be afraid to fill each orange half all the way to the top, because once the Jello sets it tends to deflate. 6) Refrigerate for four hours or until firm. Slice the orange halves to make wedges and enjoy! Gavel Media encourages students 21+ to enjoy these jello shots safely and responsibly.
