Ingredients

4 Packages of Jello 3 ounces to 3.9 ounce packages
6 cups water
2 cup vodka

Instructions

Start by laying the plastic jello shot containers on a tray.
In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup add 1 1/2 cups water. Heat for 2-3 minutes or until the water is boiling or close to boiling.
Pour in 1 packet of the Jello, and stir well until all the crystals are dissolved.
Now add in 1/2 cup cold water, and 1/2 cup vodka. Stir again then pour the mixture into containers.
Repeat the process with as many or few Jello flavors as you would like.
Place the lids on the containers. Allow the Jello shots to set up fully. Mine took around one and a half hours to set up.
Once the jello shots are set up, serve and enjoy.

Notes

The Starburst flavored Jellos were 3.9-ounce packages instead of a classic 3-ounce package. I went ahead and kept the liquid the same and it worked just as well.

Work with one flavor at a time.

Make sure to fully dissolve the Jello in the hot water, or it will not set up right. I just heated water for 2 1/2 minutes or so in the microwave.

You can add up to 1 cup of vodka, just omit the cold water. Make sure to keep the 2 1/2 cup total of liquid per Jello packet.

Too much alcohol will cause the Jello to not set. So don't go over 1 cup of alcohol.

Swap the vodka with rum, whiskey, triple sec, etc.

Feel free to use sugar-free jello if you want a sugar-free jello shot. It will also make it keto jello shot as well!
