Add in the 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of vodka.

Cook's notes
- Use a high-proof vodka for a stronger kick, or swap in flavored vodka to complement the Jello flavor.
- For easy removal and serving, lightly spray the inside of the 2 oz cups with non-stick cooking spray before pouring.
- Chill the shots for at least 2 hours, but overnight yields the best texture.
Frequently asked
Can I use sugar-free Jello for this recipe?
Yes, sugar-free Jello works perfectly. Just note that the texture may be slightly softer, and the alcohol taste may be more pronounced.
How strong are these Jello Shots?
Each shot contains roughly 0.5 oz of vodka, so they are moderately strong. Adjust the amount of vodka to taste, but keep the total liquid volume the same.
Can I make Jello Shots without alcohol?
Absolutely! Replace the vodka with an equal amount of cold water or fruit juice for a kid-friendly version.
