Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 ounce box Strawberry Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup vodka
  • 12 gummy eyeball candies

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl with a pour spout, add the strawberry gelatin powder and pour in 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until all the gelatin crystals have completely dissolved, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Mix Liquids: Whisk in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka into the dissolved gelatin mixture until fully combined.
  3. Pour into Cups: Arrange twelve 2-ounce jello shot cups on a rimmed tray to prevent spills. Slowly pour the strawberry jello mixture into each cup, filling to just below the rim with about an â…› inch space remaining.
  4. Initial Chill and Add Eyeballs: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1 to 1½ hours until the jello shots are partially set and firm. Once partially set, place one gummy eyeball candy on the surface of each jello shot. Return the tray to the refrigerator.
  5. Final Chill: Refrigerate the jello shots for an additional 1½ hours to overnight to allow them to fully set and firm up.
  6. Store and Serve: Once completely set, cover each cup with its lid and keep them stacked in the refrigerator until ready to serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use a rimmed tray to avoid spills when transporting the jello shots to the fridge.
  • The gummy eyeballs are placed after the jello is partially set to keep them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Jello shots should be kept refrigerated until serving and consume within 24-48 hours for best texture and freshness.
  • Ensure the vodka is mixed well and even for consistent potency in all shots.
  • Adjust the vodka amount if you desire a stronger or lighter alcoholic intensity.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the vodka with an equal amount of cold water.
