Description

These Candy-Sweet Jello Shots are a fun, colorful, and boozy treat perfect for any party, celebration, or festive gathering! Made with grape or berry-flavored Jello, vodka, and Triple Sec, they deliver a sweet and tangy punch, topped with fluffy whipped cream and a sugared rim for a deliciously playful twist.


Ingredients

1 box (3 oz) Grape or Berry-Flavored Jello – Creates a vibrant, fruity base. 🍇💜
1 cup Boiling Water – Helps dissolve the Jello mix. ♨️
½ cup Vodka – Adds a boozy kick! 🍸
½ cup Triple Sec – Brings a sweet, citrusy orange flavor. 🍊
Whipped Cream – For a light, creamy topping. ☁️
Colored Sugar (for rimming) – Adds a festive and decorative touch. ✨


Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Jello Base 🍇

  • In a heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve one box of Jello mix in 1 cup of boiling water.
  • Stir continuously until the Jello is completely dissolved (about 1-2 minutes).
  • Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes to avoid burning off the alcohol.

2️⃣ Add the Booze 🍸

  • Stir in ½ cup vodka and ½ cup Triple Sec.
  • Mix well to ensure the alcohol is evenly distributed.

3️⃣ Pour & Chill ❄️

  • Carefully pour the mixture into shot glasses or small plastic cups.
  • Place the shots in the refrigerator and chill for 2-4 hours, or until fully set.

4️⃣ Decorate the Rims

  • Before serving, lightly dip the rim of each shot glass into simple syrup or water, then coat with colored sugar.
  • This adds a festive, candy-like finish!

5️⃣ Top with Whipped Cream & Serve! 🍰

  • Just before serving, top each Jello shot with a swirl of whipped cream.
  • For extra flair, use a piping bag and garnish with sprinkles or candy pieces.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, boozy fun! 🎉

Notes

Use Different Jello Flavors – Try strawberry, raspberry, or blue raspberry Jello for fun variations.
Make It Sweeter – Add 1 tbsp simple syrup or honey for a smoother, dessert-like taste.
Want a Non-Alcoholic Version? Replace the vodka & Triple Sec with lemon-lime soda or white grape juice.
Experiment with Toppings – Crushed cookies, edible glitter, or chocolate shavings make fun add-ons!
