Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 shots
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package (3 oz) white grape Jell-O
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1/2 cup peppermint schnapps
- Red and white striped straws
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in a small pot or kettle. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, carefully remove it from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the boiling water with the package of white grape Jell-O. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 2 minutes until the Jell-O is fully dissolved and there are no granules remaining.
- After the Jell-O is dissolved, add 1/2 cup of vodka and 1/2 cup of peppermint schnapps to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare your shot glasses by placing them on a stable tray or in a muffin tin to prevent them from tipping over. Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture into each shot glass, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Once all shot glasses are filled, transfer the tray to the refrigerator. Allow the Jell-O shots to set for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm to the touch.
- After the Jell-O shots have fully set, remove them from the refrigerator. If desired, you can garnish each shot with a red and white striped straw for a festive touch.
- Serve the Candy Cane Jell-O Shots chilled and enjoy responsibly with friends and family!
Tips
- • For the smoothest texture, ensure your boiling water completely dissolves the Jell-O powder with no granules remaining. • Use a steady tray or muffin tin when filling shot glasses to prevent any messy spills. • Chill your shot glasses beforehand for an extra frosty presentation. • Allow a full 2 hours of setting time in the refrigerator for the perfect Jell-O shot consistency. • For a festive touch, use red and white striped straws as both a garnish and a fun drinking accessory. • Always remind guests to enjoy responsibly and have a designated driver or alternative transportation. • Pro hack: Make these shots a day ahead to save time during your holiday party prep!
