This pink lemonade gelatin shots recipe came from one of those “I need something fun, but classy” moments. I was throwing a mini celebration for my best friend’s birthday and didn’t want basic shots. So I carved out lemons, poured in pink lemonade vodka gel, and chilled the prettiest little wedges ever.
The best part? They sparkle—especially if you sprinkle a little glitter or sugar on top. They’re tart, sweet, and go down way too easy.
If you love bold pink party drinks, don’t miss these Pink Pony Jello Shots or a swirl-filled Pink Candy Freakshake. But today, let’s start with citrus, gelatin, and some chill.

Serving Tips & Flavor Variations for Pink Lemonade Gelatin Shots
How to Slice & Serve Them Right
Once your Pink Lemonade Gelatin Shots Recipe are set, use a sharp non-serrated knife to slice each lemon half into 2–3 wedges. Wipe the blade between cuts to keep them clean and photo-worthy. Serve them chilled on a tray dusted with edible glitter or rimmed with sanding sugar for sparkle.
For extra flair, you can dip the edges in sugar—just like Pink Pony Shots with Whipped Cream do so brilliantly.
Fun Flavor Upgrades
Want more tartness? Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the mix. Prefer it sweeter? Use pink lemonade concentrate or raspberry lemonade instead. You can even use raspberry vodka for a twist—like we do in the Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots.
You’re just one garnish away from turning these into the hit of your party.

FAQs About Pink Lemonade Gelatin Shots Recipe
Can I make pink lemonade gelatin shots ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep them 1–2 days ahead. Just keep them in the fridge in a sealed container or loosely covered tray to prevent drying out.
What’s the best way to hollow out lemons for gelatin shots?
Use a sharp paring knife to loosen the flesh, then scoop carefully with a spoon. Roll lemons beforehand to soften them—it makes hollowing easier.

Definitely. Lemon vodka adds brightness, but raspberry, strawberry, or pink lemonade vodka all work well too. Just balance sweetness with tart lemonade.

About 3 hours minimum in the fridge. For firmer shots that slice clean, chill overnight.
