Recipe Tips
Chill vodka before adding to jello mixture to ensure the jello shots will set properly and have a smooth texture.
If you prefer stronger shots, increase the amount of vodka in the recipe but not too much as that can prevent the jello shots from setting.
How to Store Jello Shots
Place lids on top of each plastic container and store in the fridge for up to one week. DO NOT freeze jello shots as alcohol does not freeze.
