Description
Fun, colorful, and refreshingly boozy — these Fruity Vodka Jello Shots combine your favorite gelatin flavors with real fruit for a playful party treat everyone will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-oz) box flavored gelatin (strawberry, lime, orange, etc.)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup vodka (or rum, tequila, or fruit-flavored liqueur)
- 1 cup chopped fruit (strawberries, pineapples, raspberries, grapes)
- Optional: whipped cream, mint leaves, or citrus zest for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1 – Choose the Right Fruit: Avoid fruits that stop gelatin from setting, such as pineapple (fresh), kiwi, mango, or papaya. Use canned or cooked versions instead.
- Step 2 – Dissolve the Gelatin: In a heatproof bowl, whisk gelatin with boiling water until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
- Step 3 – Add Liquids: Stir in cold water and vodka (or your preferred spirit).
- Step 4 – Add Fruit: Place small pieces of fruit at the bottom of each 2-oz shot cup or mold. Pour gelatin mixture over the fruit.
- Step 5 – Chill: Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or until firm.
- Step 6 – Garnish & Serve: Top with whipped cream, a mint leaf, or citrus zest before serving. Keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Notes
For a lighter version, replace half the vodka with fruit juice. Use different gelatin colors for a fun rainbow effect at parties!
