Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups
- Whisk or spoon
- Small saucepan
- Disposable jello shot cups
- Tray or baking sheet
- Refrigerator
- Funnel or pitcher (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) blue raspberry gelatin mix (or berry blue jello)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 0.5 cup vodka (or rum, tequila, or coconut rum)
- gummy bears for garnish
Instructions
- Boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
- Pour the gelatin mix into a mixing bowl, then add the boiling water.
- Whisk for about 2 minutes until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka (or your chosen alcohol) until combined.
- Pour into jello shot cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place cups on a tray and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours until set.
- Top each shot with a gummy bear just before serving.
Notes
To make stronger shots, reduce the cold water slightly but keep total liquid close to 2 cups so the gelatin sets. For a non-alcoholic version, swap the alcohol for lemonade or fruit soda. For layered colors, let the first layer chill until partially set before adding the next.
