Virgin Recipe
- 3 ounces blue jello I used berry blue
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water you can also use juice like apple juice or even sprite or 7up will work
- 12 gummy bears
- 12 peach rings watermelon and sour apple are also delicious
Instructions
- Arrange 12 shot glasses (2-ounce) on a rimmed baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl or large glass measuring cup (I used Pyrex), gently whisk (to avoid air bubbles) the jello and boiling water together until the jello is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the cold vodka (if using) and cold water until combined.
- Carefully pour the jello mixture into the shot glasses until about three quarters full. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least four hours to allow the jello to set up.
- To serve, place a gummy bear in the center of each peach ring to create the gummy bear floaties.
- Top each jello shot with a gummy bear floaty, serve and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
Storage Information
Keep the party going by storing any leftover jello shots in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make sure each container has a lid or store them in a large container that can be sealed. I don’t recommend freezing the shots.
Trish's Tips
To make a less intense shot, reduce the vodka to ½ cup and increase the cold water to ½ cup.
Place vodka in the fridge for an hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes before making the shots to help the jello set up quicker.
Gently stir the jello mixture to avoid air bubbles in the top of your shot.
