Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (3 ounces) flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup vodka (or any liquor of choice)
Liquid Additions:
Garnish (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkles
- Fruit slices
Instructions
- Empty the flavored gelatin powder into a spacious mixing vessel and introduce boiling water, stirring vigorously until the crystals completely melt and integrate into a smooth, uniform liquid.
- Incorporate cold water and vodka into the gelatin mixture, whisking thoroughly to ensure perfect blending and consistent texture throughout the solution.
- Select small disposable plastic shot containers and methodically transfer the liquid gelatin mixture, filling each vessel approximately three-quarters full to accommodate potential garnish additions.
- Arrange the filled shot cups on a level tray, then transfer to the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours, allowing the gelatin to solidify and transform into a gelid, wobbling consistency.
- When prepared to serve, consider adorning each jello shot with optional embellishments like delicate whipped cream peaks, colorful sprinkle confetti, or vibrant fruit medallions to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Maintain the jello shots in a chilled environment until the moment of consumption to preserve their structural integrity and refreshing temperature.
Notes
- Select high-quality vodka for smoother, more enjoyable shots with minimal harsh alcohol burn.
- Choose complementary Jello flavors matching vodka types like strawberry with food-grade strawberry vodka or lime with citrus vodka.
- Experiment with alternative alcohol options like rum, tequila, or flavored liqueurs to create unique shot variations.
- Adjust alcohol content by reducing vodka and increasing cold water for lighter, less potent shots suitable for casual gatherings.
