Supplies Needed
You can do the shots in any storage form, I just like the single serve containers. But feel free to do a 9×13 pan, and then slice and cut with a knife for finger style Jello.

How to Make
Full directions on how to make jello shots are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through.
Step 1: Heat water in a microwave-safe container. You want the water to be boiling or close to boiling, then add your powdered Jello. Stir until sugar crystals are dissolved.
Step 2: Add in vodka and cold water, and stir again. Once well-mixed move on to the next step.
Step 3: Pour into cups, place lids on, and refrigerate till it is set up.
Storage
Your jello can store for around 3-5 days in the refrigerator. You will not want to leave these cups uncovered or it will take on odors from your fridge.
Open each cup and serve and enjoy!
You can’t freeze these, as the mixture will change once thawed from being frozen.
Variations To Recipe
- Use any flavor of Jello you want.
- Swap vodka with rum or other alcohol.
- Use a different size of container if you would like.
- Instead of single serve Jello cups you can make cut out Jello with cookie cutters.
Expert Tips
- Don’t add too much alcohol or it will not allow the jello to set up.
- Make sure to use boiling hot water to mix the jello to ensure the sugary crystals dissolve.
- Make ahead of time and allow around 2-3 hours to set up.
Types of Alcohol You Can Use
Using different flavored alcohol to a different variety is a great way to customize your shots. Here are a handful of alcohols you might consider to use to help alter the flavor.
This list can help you to really think out of the box on what you might want. Maybe some coconut flavored alcohol paired with a pineapple jello for a pina colada spin.
Or tequila and strawberry or lime jello for a margarita version. Or top a pineapple shot with a cherry for a pineapple upside down flavor.
Have a blast and just make your shots fun, tasty, and crowd approved.
