Jello Shots
Description
To prepare Jello Shots, the gelatin powder is first dissolved in boiling water with thorough whisking to ensure no granules remain. After adding cold water to balance the mixture, vodka is stirred in evenly to create an alcoholic gelatin blend. The mixture is poured into small cups or containers and refrigerated for one and a half to two and a half hours until firm.
Once set, the gelatin has a solid yet slightly wobbly texture flavored by the chosen gelatin variety, making it a sweet and boozy treat that can be eaten like a shot. The servings are convenient for social gatherings and can be stored in the refrigerator to keep firm until consumed.
Placing the shot cups on a sheet pan eases transferring to the fridge. Using a turkey baster or measuring spoon helps distribute the liquid evenly without spills.
