Introduction
- Jello shots can be a great alternative to serving traditional alcoholic beverages. By substituting alcohol for a portion of the water used in a normal Jello recipe, you can create a delicious snack that also contains the alcohol content of your favorite drink. Not only are they easy to make and fun to drink, but you can customize the basic recipe to make whatever flavored shot you enjoy most! Follow the instructions below in order to make a tasty treat that will be a hit at your next party or get-together.
What You'll Need
- (Note: 1 cup = 8 ounces)
- 6 ounces of Jello or gelatin mix (usually 1 large package) - Any flavor except sugar-free
- 16 ounces of boiling water
- 6 ounces of cold water
- 20 small plastic cups or shot glasses
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Mixing bowl
- 10 ounces of 80-proof hard alcohol (cold).
- Note: While vodka is the most common type of alcohol used in Jello shots, any type of hard liquor will do. See below for various Jello/alcohol flavor combinations.
Jello Shot Variations
- Once you've mastered the art of making a normal Jello shot, you can start experimenting with other ways to serve and enjoy your alcohol. Here are a few variations on the traditional Jello shot recipe.
Jello Orange Slices
- Buy fresh oranges.
- Prepare the Jello/alcohol mixture.
- Slice the oranges in half with a sharp knife.
- Scoop out the edible parts of the orange with a spoon.
- Pour the Jello/alcohol mixture into the orange halves.
- Place the filled orange halves in the refrigerator for several hours to cool and solidify.
- When they have reached the proper consistency, slice the filled oranges as you would a normal orange half in order to create orange wedges.

Jello Syringes
- Purchase a number of safe and clean Jello Injectors from a reputable party or bartending supply store.
- Make your Jello/alcohol mixture the same way you would a normal Jello Shot.
- Instead of pouring the mixture into cups, take your injectors and suck up enough of the mixture to fill the syringe.
- Place your injectors in the refrigerator let them cool.
- Serve and enjoy!
