Ingredients

3 ounces blue raspberry flavored gelatin mix
1 cup boiling water
½ cup cold vodka
½ cup cold water
20 Peach ring gummies
20 Gummy bears

Instructions

On a tray set out your cups, set aside for later. This is also a good time to make sure you have room in your fridge for the tray of jello shots.
In a large measuring cup with a spout or a mixing bowl with a spout add 1 cup of boiling water and your jello.
Whisk until the jello is all dissolved.
Add in your ½ cup of vodka and ½ cup of water. Whisk again.
Carefully pour the mixture into the cups almost all the way up.
Place them in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until they are set. (overnight is recommended)
Place a gummy ring on each one and then cut a gummy bear in half and stick one in each ring.
Keep these refrigerated until ready to serve and keep cool while serving.
These will stay good in the fridge for a week!

Notes

Storage:

To Store: You can store your jello shots covered in the fridge for up to a week.
To Freeze: Do not freeze these jello shots!

Tips:

You can use up to ⅔ cup of vodka for a total of 1 cup of cold liquid. So if you use ⅔ cup of vodka, use ⅓ cup of cold water. Adjust accordingly depending on how strong you want your jello shots.
If you prefer the 2-ounce cups for jello shots, they will work well too-- you just will get fewer shots out of each batch.
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.
This recipe is really easy to double or triple (and I recommend it!).
Make sure you have room in your fridge for the tray of jello shots.
