Ingredients

Ingredients For Gingerbread Shots

  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1/2 cup Vodka
  • 1/4 cup Butterscotch Schnapps
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 4 Envelopes Knox Gelatin
  • 2 cups Boiling Water
  • 1/4 cup Gingerbread Simple Syrup
  • Gingerbread sprinkles optional
  • Whipped Cream optional

Gingerbread Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add your Bailey's, vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps, gingerbread syrup and cold water into a bowl.
  • Add in the 4 envelopes of gelatin, and stir until mixed together.
  • Pour in the 2 cups boiling hot water, and stir for 2-3 minutes or until all of the gelatin is fully melted.
  • Pour the gingerbread jello shot mixture in the shot cups or on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate 2-3 hours or until shots are fully set. Then top with whipped cream and sprinkles if you want.
  • Store your gingerbread Christmas jello shots in the fridge.

Gingerbread Simple Syrup

  • Start by adding sugar and water to a pot on the stove. Heat on medium heat stirring occasionally until the sugar is melted.
  • Then you will add in the cinnamon, molasses, and ginger.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fully mixed well, and you can smell the spices well.
  • Store the gingerbread syrup in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Notes

Gingerbread Syrup - You will have leftover gingerbread syrup, and you can use that for flavoring coffee, baking with it, etc.
Jello Shot Storage - Store your shots in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. I find these are best to be eaten within the first 2 days of being made.
