Jello Shots
Description
This recipe starts by dissolving a 3-ounce package of flavored gelatin in one cup of boiling water. Once fully dissolved, an equal amount of vodka is stirred in, blending the gelatin and spirit evenly. The mixture is then poured into small two-ounce cups, commonly disposable shot glasses, and refrigerated for about two hours to fully set. The resulting Jello Shots balance the sweetness and flavor of the gelatin with the alcohol, producing a firm, jiggly treat with a mild spirited taste. Variations include using different gelatin flavors, layering colors by chilling partially before adding another layer, or substituting vodka with other spirits like tequila or bourbon to mimic cocktail flavors. Jello Shots can be prepared in advance and stored in airtight containers for a few days. Using sugar-free gelatin or gelatin sheets with fresh juice are alternative options with adjusted preparation steps.
Ingredients
- 3 oz gelatin dessert see note 1, package
- 1 cup water boiling
- 1 cup vodka (see note 2)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Meanwhile, place the jello in a large glass measuring cup or bowl.
- Pour the boiling water carefully into the jello and stir until the jello is disolved. Stir in vodka.
- Pour the jello mixture into disposable 2-ounce portion cups or shot glasses, and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Notes
- Any 3-ounce gelatin flavor works; choose based on preference and color scheme.
- Vodka is standard, but other liquors like tequila or bourbon can be substituted.
- One 3-ounce box yields about 10 Jello Shots in 2-ounce cups.
- For layered shots, let the first layer set in the fridge before adding a different colored gelatin layer.
- Prepare up to 3 days ahead and store in airtight containers refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Sugar-free gelatin can be used as a substitute following the package instructions.
- Gelatin sheets require blooming in a mixture of vodka and juice with prepared simple syrup.
