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!
✔ Use Fun Shot Glasses – Plastic cups are great for easy serving, or use mini dessert cups for a fancier presentation.
