Tips & Substitutions
For a more vibrant color, consider using a flavored gelatin that complements the fruit juices. You can substitute the frozen lemonade or orange juice with fresh juice for a fresher taste. If you're looking for a less sweet option, reduce the sugar or try a sugar substitute. Be sure to mix well to ensure the Jell-O is fully dissolved before freezing.
