Equipment

1 mixing bowl
1 whisk or mixing spoon
1 cup with spout for pouring optional but helpful
12 small cups with lids

Ingredients

1 3-ounce box of flavored jello
1 cup boiling water
½ cup vodka or other alcohol
½ cup cold water

Instructions

Boil your water: Boil 1 cup of water and add it to a mixing bowl that contains your flavored gelatin powder. Whisk the powder and hot water until the powder is dissolved.
Add your liquid: Pour in your remaining 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup alcohol and whisk until combined.
Pour into cups: Pour your mixture into your small cups 3/4 of the way full (it’s easiest to pour from a spouted measuring cup) and add lids. Make sure your liquid is completely cool before adding lids so you don’t get condensation forming on the inside of the lid.
Set your jello shots: Put your jello shots in the fridge for 2-4 hours until set. Once ready to eat, set them out for your guests and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is for a 3-ounce box, so just double the water and alcohol if you are making a 6-ounce box.

NOTE: If you don’t want to use disposable cups, you can pour your mixture into a baking pan and cut them into squares or pour into small glass cups and serve with little spoons.

Tips and Tricks for Vodka Jello Shots:

Try squeezable cups to get your jello shot out easier.
Use a flavored vodka (like vanilla or chocolate) to add another layer of flavor to your shot.
Serve with toppings like whipped cream and/or sprinkles that you add right before serving.
Layer your shots with different flavors and colors by pouring a small amount of one flavor in each cup, let that flavor set in the fridge, and add another flavor on top. Repeat with as many flavors as you would like!
