Ingredients
•1 (3 oz) box cherry or strawberry gelatin mix
•1 cup boiling water
•1/2 cup vodka (or replace with 1/2 cup boiling water for non-alcoholic)
•1/2 cup cold water
•Whipped cream topping
•12 strawberries (tops removed)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Jello: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Stir in the gelatin mix until fully dissolved.
2. Cool and add vodka: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka (or substitute with water). Let it cool until it’s no longer steaming.
3. Fill the shot cups: Pour the mixture into shot cups, place them on a tray, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours until set.
4. Garnish with strawberries: Before serving, pipe whipped cream onto each shot, place an upside-down strawberry on top, and add a small dab of whipped cream on the tip of the strawberry. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
•You can substitute the vodka with more water if you want to make a family-friendly version.
•Make sure to garnish the shots just before serving so the whipped cream stays fresh and fluffy.
•You can make the Jello shots ahead of time and add the strawberries and whipped cream right before your event.
