Ingredients
- 3 ounce boxed Jello any flavor
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup Vodka
Instructions
Step 1: Purchase Supplies
- Jello Shot supplies can be purchased at your local grocery store or online. You will need 3 ounce boxes of Jello, water and alcohol. Purchase 2 ounce disposable plastic cups with lids as well. Once you have all of your supplies, then it’s time to get cooking.
Step 2: Melt the Gelatin
- To ensure your jello shots are as smooth as possible, melt the gelatin first. Add 1 cup of water to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Open Jello package and pour powder in the boiling water and mix until all of the powder is dissolved. (Alternatively, dissolve in a small saucepan on medium heat.) Add ½ cup vodka (or another alcohol alternative) and ½ cup water and mix together.
Step 3: Fill the Cups
- Lay cups out on a large cookie sheet. Using a syringe, turkey baster or measuring cup add liquid mixture evenly into each shot glass. Fill cups almost full but not too full.
Step 4: Put in your refrigerator and enjoy!
- Put lids on each cup and put cookies sheet of Jello shots in refrigerator making sure it is level. Wait at least 2 hours for your shots to set completely. When your jello shots are set, it’s time to eat them! Serve them at your next party or event, or simply enjoy them with your friends.
Notes
Recipe Tips and Variations
- The basic Jello shot recipe is usually made with vodka but feel free to switch it other with other kinds of alcohol such as tequila, rum, or even flavored vodkas.
- To avoid making a mess use a device such as a syringe, turkey baster or measuring cup to put liquid into each cup washing it out in between flavors.
- Use a flat surface such as a large sheet pan to place cups on. This makes it easy to transport to the fridge and keeps them level while chilling.
- Make sure leave enough time to chill the Jello shots so they can set up completely.
