SOUR WATERMELON JELL-O SHOTS IN A WATERMELON RIND

Steps:

• Using a large chef's knife, cut the watermelon in half lengthwise through the stem. Trim a small portion from the underside of each half so it can sit on the work surface without wobbling. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Scoop out most of the flesh with a large spoon into a medium bowl, leaving about 1/8 inch of flesh above the white part of the rind (this will help the gelatin to adhere).
• Transfer the watermelon flesh and any juice from the bowl and rind to a blender and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a coffee filter). Discard the solids and reserve the juice; you should have about 5 cups total.
• Measure 3 cups of the juice into a medium saucepan (save any remaining juice for another use). Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk the watermelon-flavored and unflavored gelatin with the citric acid together in a large bowl, then whisk in the warm watermelon juice until all of the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vodka until combined. Pour the gelatin mixture into the hallowed-out watermelon halves. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Slice the watermelon in half lengthwise, then crosswise into small wedges. Serve chilled.

CHRISTMAS JELL-O SHOTS

Steps:

• For the lime layer: Heat 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan (or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave) until just simmering. Pour the lime gelatin powder into a medium bowl, then add the hot water. Stir until the powder has completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the rum until combined. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup. Divide evenly among 34 plastic shot glasses (1-ounce glasses). Refrigerate until the gelatin has set, about 45 minutes.
• For the strawberry layer: Heat 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan (or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave) until just simmering. Pour the strawberry gelatin powder into a medium bowl, then add the hot water. Stir until the powder has completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the rum until combined. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup. Carefully pour this mixture on top of the set lime layer in each shot glass, then return the glasses to the refrigerator to set completely, about 2 hours.
• For the topping: Meanwhile, with an electric mixer on medium speed, whisk the cream in a large bowl until it holds stiff peaks. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Pipe or dollop the whipped cream on each shot, then decorate lightly with sprinkles. Serve chilled.
