Easy and Great Tasting Jello Shot Recipe

Using this basic Jello Shot recipe you can create a rainbow of Jello Shots. Jello Shots add fun and excitement to any party. I have made thousands of Jello Shots over the past ten years for birthday parties, float trips, bachelor and bachelorette parties and even a bridal shower. Guests always ask how to make Jello Shots and this is the recipe I share with them.

To make Jello Shots you will need cups for each shot. Many party supply and liquor stores sell 1 ounce or 2 ounce disposable cups with lids. These work perfectly.

(1) 4-serving size box of Jello (any flavor)

¾ cup water

¾ cup alcohol (your choice)

½ cup water

To create Jello Shots bring ¾ cup water to boil on stovetop or in microwave. Remove water from heat and stir in Jello. Continue to stir for two minutes until all Jello is dissolved. Add your choice of alcohol and remaining water to Jello and stir to mix.

(1) 8-serving size box of Jello (any flavor)

1 ½ cup water

1 ½ cup alcohol (your choice)

1 cup water

A 4-serving size box of Jello will make approximately twelve (12) 2 ounce Jello Shots. An 8-serving size box of Jello will make approximately twenty-four (24) 2 ounce Jello Shots.

The choice of alcohol for Jello Shots is entirely up to you. Hard liquor, such is vodka, gin or rum is most commonly used for Jello Shots. I make most of my Jello Shots using Schnapps or other liquors. They provide a sweeter and less strong taste that my party guests seem to prefer.

Jello Shot variety is limited only by your imagination. The more creative you are the more fun your guests will have.
