Notes

  • Use up to 1½ cups of alcohol for a stronger jello shot. For a lighter jello shot, you can use additional cold water or pineapple juice and not as much alcohol. You need four cups total of liquid to combine with the jello mixture.
  • The ratio of each type of alcohol and fruit juice will vary the flavor somewhat – you can adjust however you like. Do not use more than 2 cups of alcohol to ensure that the jello still sets up properly.
  • Setting the jello shot glasses on a rimmed baking sheet will help make it easier to transport them to the fridge for chilling.
  • The jello shots may firm up faster than 4 hours. If you are using shallower plastic containers and if you use icy cold water for your cold water, they will not take as long to set.
