Ingredients
-
3 boxes (3 oz each) flavored gelatin (blue raspberry, strawberry, lemon, etc.)
-
3 cups boiling water (1 cup per box)
-
1½ cups cold alcohol (vodka, rum, or coconut rum — ½ cup per box)
-
1½ cups cold water (½ cup per box)
-
20–24 2 oz plastic shot cups (with lids, optional)
Instructions
-
Line a tray or baking sheet with plastic shot cups to keep things steady while chilling.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 box of flavored gelatin with 1 cup boiling water until fully dissolved.
-
Stir in ½ cup cold alcohol and ½ cup cold water. Mix until combined.
-
Carefully pour the mixture into 6–8 shot cups using a ladle or spouted measuring cup.
-
Repeat steps 2–4 for each additional gelatin flavor, using a clean bowl each time.
-
Refrigerate the filled shot cups for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
-
Just before serving, add optional toppings like whipped cream, sprinkles, or candy for extra flair.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy responsibly!
Notes
-
For mocktail jello shots, simply replace the alcohol with extra cold water or lemon-lime soda for fizz.
-
Don’t overdo the alcohol—too much will keep the gelatin from setting properly.
-
Use clear cups to show off the vibrant colors, especially if you’re mixing multiple flavors.
-
Want to layer flavors? Chill each layer completely before pouring the next one on top.
-
Store in the fridge with lids or plastic wrap for up to 5 days. These aren’t freezer-friendly, so keep them cool—not frozen!

Party tip: Display the shots on a tray with LED lights underneath for a fun, glowing effect!
