🥘 Jello Shots Ingredients This super simple recipe needs a packet of Jell-o mix and your favorite vodka! Of course, you can always choose a different liquor if you want!

Jello – 3 ounces of Jello gelatin (1 3-ounce package).Water – 1 cup of boiling water.Water – ¼ cup of cold water.Vodka – ¾ cup of vodka (or other liquor). Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts, & instructions! 🔪 How To Make Jello Shots Jello does take some time to set in the fridge, but you can speed up the process with some ice (*see note)! All you need to get started is a saucepan, mixing bowl, and your favorite shot glasses! This recipe will make you 15-16 shots so double the recipe for a larger crowd!

Boil. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to boil.Add Jello powder. In a large mixing bowl, add the Jello powder packet and then carefully pour in the boiling water.Dissolve powder. Stir continuously until the powder is completely dissolved.Add remaining ingredients. Next, add ¼ cup of cold water (*see note) and ¾ cup of vodka. Stir until combined.Pour. Pour the mixture into 2-ounce shot glasses or portion cups until they are ¾ of the way full (about 3-4 tablespoons each).Set. Place the finished Jello shots into the fridge to finish setting, up to 4 hours. If you are having a themed celebration, choose colors or flavors that fit your theme! But before passing out the gelatin shots at your party, make sure to snack on some tasty appetizers like pinwheel sandwiches or 7-layer dip! Enjoy! 💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes Water can be heated to boiling using your microwave. Make sure your liquid measuring cup is microwave-safe and heat on high power for approximately 2 minutes.To set your Jello shots faster, add ice cubes along with the cold water. Stir for 3-4 minutes and then remove any remaining ice cubes before pouring them into glasses and placing them in the fridge.To make miniature duo Jello shots (using Starburst duos flavor 4-pack) change the ingredients to the following amounts:½ cup of boiling water½ cup of cold ice water½ cup of chilled vodka Jell-O can be set within 2 hours with these small cups, but I prefer to allow 4-6 hours of refrigerated chilling time before serving. ❓ What Alcohol Is Best For Jello Shots? Vodka is the alcohol that is most commonly used for jello shots. It is relatively neutral which allows the flavor of the jello to be able to stand out! However, you can really use whatever alcohol you prefer but it will alter the flavor. ❓ How Much Alcohol Is In A Jello Shot? The ratios vary, as different recipes call for different amounts of alcohol. Typically, a jello shot contains around 10% ABV. If you add too much alcohol into your shots, the gelatin won’t be able to set properly. ❓ How Many Jello Shots Equals One Shot? Obviously, a jello shot is not the same thing as taking a shot of straight liquor. While alcohol content varies, typically 4 jello shots are equal to 1 shot of vodka (or whatever alcohol you’re using).
