- Make The Jello Mixture: Combine the jello powders and dissolve with boiling water. Stir in the cold water, vodka, and lemon juice.
- Fill: Arrange your shot cups on a moveable surface such as a baking sheet and fill each shot cup ¾ of the way full. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or until solidified.
- Serve: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a strawberry, and a lemon slice if desired, serve, and enjoy!
Tip From Our Recipe Developer
- I like to line up my shot glasses on a flat, firm, moveable surface like a tray or cookie sheet. This makes it easier to move them back and forth from the fridge.
- I use an injector to fill my shot cups because it’s just quicker and less messy. However, a pourable measuring cup works as well or even a turkey baster.
- Do not garnish your jello shots unless you’re serving them right away. Do not store your jello shots overnight or for very long with the garnishes, or the garnishes get gross.
- If you cannot find the 2-ounce plastic shot cups with lids (linked here), they may be labeled as condiment cups. These can be used interchangeably. You can use any shot cups you prefer but keep in mind that your servings may be different from this recipe.
Storage
- To Store: You can keep these in the fridge, with the lids on, for about a week.
- To Freeze: Do not freeze these jello shots.
