Ingredients
- 3 ounces flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 10 2-ounce plastic cups with lids
- Prepare cups: Layout 10 2-ounce plastic cups on a baking sheet without lids; this keeps them steady while pouring the gelatin mixture and setting in the fridge.
- Dissolve gelatin: In a medium mixing bowl or a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, pour the flavored gelatin mix. Add 1 cup of boiling water and whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth with no granules.
- Add liquids: Pour in 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup cold water into the dissolved gelatin mixture. Whisk again gently to combine all ingredients evenly without creating bubbles.
- Fill cups: Carefully pour the gelatin and vodka mixture into each plastic cup, filling about three-quarters full to leave room for the lids and to avoid spilling when moving them.
- Refrigerate: Place the filled cups on the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Let them chill for 2 to 3 hours or until the jello has fully set and is firm to the touch.
- Store and serve: Once set, put the lids on each cup to keep them fresh. Store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve the jello shots at your party or gathering.
Notes
- Choose your flavored gelatin mix according to taste preference for variety (e.g., strawberry, lime, raspberry).
- Use a good quality vodka to ensure a smoother taste in the finished shots.
- Ensure the boiling water is hot enough to fully dissolve the gelatin for the best texture.
- These jello shots must be kept refrigerated to maintain their shape and texture.
- Adjust the amount of vodka up to half the total liquid to increase alcohol strength or reduce if preferred.
