To make classic jello shots, follow these steps: Ingredients:

  • 1 (3-ounce) box flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup vodka (or other alcohol)

Instructions:

  1. Boil 1 cup of water. Pour the boiling water into a mixing bowl containing the gelatin powder. Stir or whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  2. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Pour the mixture into small plastic shot cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow space for lids.
  4. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 4 hours until the gelatin is fully set.
  5. Once set, cover with lids if available and serve. Optionally, you can top with whipped cream before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a middle-shelf vodka for smoother taste.
  • For stronger shots, replace the cold water with more vodka, but warn your guests.
  • To speed up setting, use very cold alcohol and water, or add ice cubes to the cold water and remove them before mixing

This method yields about 10 shots per 3-ounce gelatin box and can be made in any flavor you prefer
