Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups water
  • 0.5 ounces unflavored powdered gelatin (2 (0.25-ounce) envelopes); Knox brand recommended
  • ⅛ teaspoon Green Gel Food Coloring
  • ⅓ cup peppermint schnapps
  • ⅓ cup Vanilla vodka
  • Whipped cream and sprinkle hearts optional, for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place your shot glasses or plastic cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Add the water to a medium saucepan and sprinkle over the gelatin. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and gently cook it until the gelatin has dissolved. Make sure not to boil the gelatin!
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the green food coloring. Add the peppermint schnapps and vanilla vodka and mix to combine.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or pitcher with a pour spout and fill your cups almost all the way to the top.
  6. Cover the cups with their lids or plastic wrap and chill them in the fridge for 4 hours, or until set.
  7. To serve, enjoy as is or top with whipped cream and a sprinkle heart.

Notes

  • Yield: This recipe makes 16 (1-ounce) shots or 8 (2-ounce) shots.
  • Storage: Store Grinch jello shots covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Wait to garnish with whipped cream until just before serving.
  • There's the equivalent to one shot of alcohol in 4 (1-ounce) jello shots, so it'll take a bit longer to feel the effects than it would with a straight shot.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
