“Clever girl!” – Muldoon
Looking for the perfect drink for your Jurassic Park themed party? You’ve come to the right place! Named after one of the most iconic lines in the film and inspired by the green jello that jiggles on Lex’s spoon when she spots a raptor in the dining room, this drink will thrill any Jurassic Park fan!
I came up with this for my Jurassic Park party cocktail but I’ve also included a non-alcoholic version so you can make this for your dino-loving kids. I would have LOVED this drink as a kid!
UPDATE: Rose Table reader Monique made this drink for her husband’s birthday and it came out perfectly! Thanks for sharing, Monique.
Determined to incorporate green jello into my party, I based this recipe on an orange jello drink I used to make at all my Halloween parties. The concept for the Clever Girl is simple: flaked lime jello in sparkling white grape juice. The result is a ridiculously addictive fruit punch that kids and adults will love.
Clever Girl – Alcoholic4-serving package green Jello (lime flavored)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup vodka
Sparkling white grape juice
- Place jello mix in a bowl. Pour boiling water on top of gelatin mix, whisking for two minutes or until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in cold water and vodka. Cover and refrigerate for four hours or until set.
- Use a fork to flake the jello. Add a half cup of jello flakes to each glass. Top with sparkling white grape juice and mix with a straw.
- Note: the drink will turn totally green in about ten minutes. Let it sit and keep stirring!
