Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Vodka Jello Shots WATER: Just like regular jello, you’ll need some water for these shots. JELLO MIX: This recipe uses 3-ounce boxes of jello. If you can only find 6-ounce boxes, be sure to double the rest of the ingredients and have more cups on hand. VODKA: You need regular vodka for standard jello shots. (I have flavored vodka recommendations below.) But the best vodka for jello shots is a good middle-shelf option. I’m not talking about high-end $35 a bottle stuff. A $12 bottle of Absolut or Smirnoff will work just fine. Just don’t pick a bottom shelf big plastic bottle. The cheaper vodka will come through in the shots and punch you in the face. You want a vodka that’s a little smoother. STEP 1 Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Then pour a 3-ounce box of gelatin mix into a medium mixing bowl or 4-cup glass measuring cup. Add the vodka and cold water to the mixing bowl and give everything a whisk to mix it all up Pour the boiling water over the jello and whisk until the jello is completely dissolved. STEP 2 Place the plastic jello shot cups on a baking sheet without the lids. (Doing this makes the shots easier to move around.) Pour the jello mixture into plastic cups and chill in the fridge until set, about 2 hours. STEP 3 Once the jello shots are set you can top them with the lids for storing and to make them travel-friendly. You’ll get about 10 to 12 vodka jello shots per 3.1-ounce box of Jell-O.You can serve the shots as is or add a swirl of whipped cream on top just before eating. If you’re topping the shots with whipped cream, wait until the last minute.īut since vodka is a neutral spirit you can use ANY jello flavor you love best!īlack cherry, grape, and berry blue jello mixes are my favorites when I’m making a lot of shots.So if you’re making your shots all one flavor be sure to grab a few boxes so you’ll have enough for everyone.The gelatin will break down the whipped cream and it’ll look melted after a few minutes.

? Coconut vodka + Pineapple gelatin = Tropical Punch ? Whipped vodka + Lemon gelatin = Lemon Meringue Pie ? Vanilla vodka + Peach gelatin = Peach Cobbler ? Lime vodka + Cherry gelatin = Cherry Limeade There are TONs of flavor combinations you can try with a box of jello and flavored vodka, these are some of my favorites… Option B would be to use Cool Whip instead.

? Cake vodka + Strawberry gelatin = Strawberry ShortcakeĮventually. The truth is while you may get a big alcohol taste, there isn’t really that much in each shot. You’d need about 4 jello shots to equal 1 shot of booze. This jello shot recipe uses 1/2 cup vodka for 12 shots = 1/3 ounce vodka per shot. That’s 4 jello shots to equal 1 regular shot of vodka.Įven if you take out the cold water and use 1 cup vodka = that’s still only 2/3 ounce vodka per shot. If you’re using the type of cups pictured here, run your finger around the outer edge of the shot and then suck it out of the cup.
