Jello Shots. Not only are they tasty and a great boozy snack, but they are fun to make and fun to eat! Jello shooters are also very versatile and you can alter your ingredients to cater to your alcohol preferences or occasion. Many people think jello shots are made with vodka or rum only, but did you know that you can make jello shots with your favourite drink?
How to Make Jell-O Shots:
Making regular Jell-O is easy. Simply mix your packet of your favourite flavoured gelatin with water and chill to set. Want to make alcoholic Jell-O shooters? Simply swap out the water with your favourite alcohol. If you’re feeling left out because you are a strict beer drinker, you can enjoy jello shots too! Instead of rum, vodka, etc., mix in your favourite beer and viola! You’ve got your very own beer jello shot!
How to Make Layered Jello Shooters:
You may also want to try layering your jello shots using two or three individual recipes. To layer gelatin, simply mix up the bottom layer and let it set completely. Then mix the second and pour it on top of the first and allow that to set.
