Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 box Grape Jello (3 ounces)
- 2/3 cup Vodka
- 1/4 cup Raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare cups: Line up mini jello shot cups on a baking sheet or cookie sheet to make transferring to the refrigerator easy and to prevent spills.
- Dissolve gelatin: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and remove from heat. Pour the boiling water into a mixing bowl and add the grape jello powder. Whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved with no lumps.
- Add alcohol and lime: Stir in 2/3 cup vodka, 1/4 cup raspberry liqueur, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Fill cups: Carefully pour the jello mixture into the prepared mini cups, filling each to the rim for optimal set and presentation.
- Chill: Place the tray with jello shot cups into the refrigerator. Chill for 2 to 4 hours until the jello is firmly set and ready to serve.
- Store and serve: Keep the jello shots refrigerated with lids on until serving. Optionally garnish each shot with a maraschino cherry just before serving for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Notes
- Use mini plastic or silicone cups specifically designed for jello shots for easy removal and serving.
- Adjust the amount of vodka or raspberry liqueur slightly if you prefer a stronger or milder alcohol flavor.
- Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved to achieve a smooth texture without lumps.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka and raspberry liqueur with grape juice or flavored sparkling water.
- Leftover jello shots can be stored in the refrigerator tightly covered for up to 3 days.
- Serving with a small fruit garnish, such as a maraschino cherry or fresh berries, adds a decorative touch.
