Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cups
Arrange the plastic cups on a baking sheet without the lids. This makes them easier to transport in and out of the fridge.
Step 2: Dissolve the Gelatin
In a medium mixing bowl or a 4-cup measuring cup, pour in the gelatin powder. Add the boiling water and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved and no granules remain.
Step 3: Add the Liquids
Stir in the cold water and vodka, whisking until fully combined. The cold water helps cool down the mixture, ensuring the alcohol isn’t burned off by the heat.
Step 4: Fill the Cups
Carefully pour the Jello mixture into the prepared plastic cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for the lids.
Step 5: Chill Until Set
Transfer the baking sheet with the filled cups to the refrigerator. Let the shots chill for at least 2 hours, or until the Jello is completely set. Once firm, cover each cup with a lid and store them in the fridge until ready to serve.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
To serve, remove the lids and hand them out to your guests. If you want an easier way to eat them, lightly spray the inside of the cups with nonstick spray before pouring in the mixture.
FAQs
Can I make Jello shots stronger?
Yes, but be cautious! Too much alcohol can prevent the gelatin from setting properly. A good balance is no more than ¾ cup vodka per cup of boiling water while adjusting the cold water accordingly.
How long do Jello shots last in the fridge?
Jello shots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Keep them covered with lids to prevent them from drying out or absorbing any fridge odors.
