Ingredients
- 1 (3 oz) box Berry Blue Jello (or any berry-flavored gelatin)
- 1 cup boiling water

- Optional: whipped cream, gummy sharks, or sprinkles for topping
Makes 12–16 standard 2 oz shots, depending on your containers.
How to Make Berry Blue Jello Shots
Step 1: Dissolve the Gelatin
Pour the Berry Blue Jello mix into a medium bowl or large measuring cup. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir for 1–2 minutes until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved.
Step 2: Add Alcohol & Water
Stir in ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka. For stronger shots, use ¾ cup vodka and ¼ cup water—but be aware that stronger shots take longer to set and may have a looser texture.
Step 3: Pour Into Cups
Carefully pour the mixture into plastic shot cups, silicone molds, or mini dessert cups. Set them on a tray or baking sheet for easy transfer.
Step 4: Chill to Set
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight is best if you’re prepping ahead.
Fun Toppings & Variations
- Beach Theme: Top with whipped cream, crushed graham crackers (for “sand”), and a gummy shark or Swedish fish.
- Tropical Twist: Use coconut rum or pineapple vodka instead of plain vodka.
- Galaxy Vibe: Add edible glitter or swirl in a little shimmer dust before chilling.
- Layered Look: Let the blue layer set halfway, then top with a white (pina colada or coconut cream) jello layer for a striped effect.
Tips for Perfect Jello Shots
- Use a spouted cup or turkey baster for easy, no-mess pouring.
- Chill alcohol before adding to help your shots set more quickly.
- Don’t freeze them! Jello shots should be stored in the fridge to maintain their consistency.
- Label clearly if there are kids around—these look like candy!
