Notes

Recipe Tips & Variations

  • Make them sour - swap out coconut flavored vodka for sour vodka and use sour gummies.
  • Change the alcohol - These can be made with any color combination of Jello/vodka and flavored gelatin/Jello shots. You could also use different types of alcohol such as rum or gin.
  • Change the flavor - Experiment with different flavors of Jell-O to match your flavor preference. Key lime pie, watermelon or mango would be nice additions to a strawberry daiquiri-inspired cocktail, for example.
  • Make more for a crowd - If you are serving more, you can double or triple this recipe.
  • Make them stronger - If you want them stronger add a bit more alcohol to the mix.
  • Display with style - Add a layer of brown sugar on tray of jello shots for a sandy beach effect. Can also place drink umbrellas throughout.
  • Store remaining jello shots in the fridge for up to 7 days. Never freeze.
