Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3 oz / 85g) cherry-flavored gelatin mix
- 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
- 1 cup (240ml) cherry vodka
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Fresh maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240ml) of boiling water into a medium heatproof bowl. Sprinkle the entire package of cherry gelatin powder over the water and whisk briskly until completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup (240ml) of cherry vodka and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. If you like it sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and whisk until dissolved.
- Arrange plastic or silicone cups on a tray or baking sheet. If using, drop a maraschino cherry into each cup.
- Carefully ladle or pour the jello mixture into each cup, filling about three-quarters full.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm but slightly wobbly.
- Once set, serve chilled. If using silicone molds, gently pop the shots out by pressing the bottom. Keep extras refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
Use boiling water to fully dissolve gelatin. Chill vodka before adding to help gelatin set properly. Wait a minute after dissolving gelatin before adding alcohol to avoid affecting the set. Let jello shots chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Silicone molds make removal easier but paper cups work fine. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; do not freeze.
