Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • .50 ounces unflavored powdered gelatin
  • ⅛ teaspoon Green Gel Food Coloring
  • ⅓ cup peppermint schnapps
  • ⅓ cup Vanilla vodka
  • Whipped cream and sprinkle hearts for garnish
  • 16 1-ounce plastic shot cups or (8) 2-ounce cups

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place shot glasses or plastic cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. In a medium pot, add the water and the gelatin powder and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Then heat the saucepan over medium-low heat and gently cook it until the gelatin has dissolved. (be careful NOT to bring to a boil!)
  4. Remove the pot from the stove and add in the food coloring and whisk to combine.
  5. Next add the peppermint schnapps and vanilla vodka and stir to blend.
  6. Pour the mixture into a large glass measuring cup or a pitcher with a pour spout and fill the cups until they are almost full.
  7. Cover cups with their lids or plastic wrap and chill them in the fridge for 4 hours, or until set.
  8. Enjoy as is or top with whipped cream and a red little sprinkle heart.

Notes

  • I used Knox brand powdered unflavored gelatin in this recipe.
  • Vanilla vodka is what makes these jello shots sweetened. You can use plain vodka and add ¼ cup of white sugar to the gelatin and water in step 2.
  • Omit the peppermint schnapps if you'd like.
  • You can also use 3 ounce package of lime jello add 1 cup of boiling water and use a ½ - 1 cup of regular vodka (or even tequila)
