Jello Shots

Exciting Jello Shot Ideas: Unique Flavors and Fun Combinations

Ingridents

Gelatin: One standard 3-ounce package of flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O).
Boiling Water: 1 cup (8 ounces).
Cold Water: Typically, this is 1/2 cup (4 ounces).
Alcohol: Usually, you use 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of vodka or other spirits.

    Basic Jello Shot Recipe:

    Dissolve the Gelatin: Boil 1 cup of water and dissolve the 3-ounce package of gelatin in it. Stir until completely dissolved.
    Add Cold Liquids: Mix in 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of alcohol. Some people adjust this to use 3/4 cup of alcohol and reduce the cold water to 1/4 cup for stronger shots.
    Pour into Cups: Pour the mixture into shot glasses or small plastic cups.
    Chill: Refrigerate the shots until they are set, usually about 2 to 4 hours.

      Notes:

      Alcohol Choice: Vodka is the most popular choice due to its neutral flavor, but you can experiment with others like white rum, tequila, or even flavored liqueurs for different tastes.

      Setting: If you increase the alcohol content significantly, it might affect the setting of the gelatin, so it’s good to stick close to the 1:1 ratio of cold water to alcohol if you’re adjusting the original recipe.
