Servings 8 two ounce syringe shots

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Jello (3 ounces - flavor of choice)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup vodka (or liquor of choice)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk jello powder in a bowl with boiling water until smooth. 
  • Add the cold water and vodka and allow to cool slightly.
  • Lower a syringe tip into the liquid and pull back on the plunger until the liquid is at the desired level. Cap the syringe and repeat until all have been filled.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Tips:
  • I recommend making these no more than 3-4 days in advance.  
  • Only use food-grade, novelty syringes with caps. 
  • Chill your vodka or alcohol of choice in advance to help the gelatin set a little faster. 
  • For the alcohol, choose a clear spirit like vodka, white rum, or blanco tequila. Avoid aged alcohols like bourbon or any other liquor that has complex flavors, like gin.
Flavor variation ideas:
  • Green apple jello with caramel vodka for a caramel apple shot.
  • Cherry jello with the liquor split 50/50 between vodka and amaretto for a cherry almond shot.
  • Peach or orange jello with whipped cream vodka for either a peaches and cream or an orange creamsicle jello shot.
  • Lime jello with coconut white rum for a “lime in the coconut” jello shot.
