Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 3 oz box lemon jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup vodka (chilled for best results)
Garnishes
- Lemon wedges
- Granulated sugar (for dipping lemon wedges)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Dissolve Jello: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the boiling water and lemon jello powder until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Add Vodka: Stir in the chilled vodka thoroughly to combine evenly.
- Fill Shot Cups: Use a spouted measuring cup to pour the jello mixture evenly into individual shot cups to minimize spills and ensure consistent portions.
- Refrigerate: Arrange the filled cups on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the jello shots are firm and set.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a lemon wedge dipped in granulated sugar to add a sweet-tart accent.
Notes
- Use chilled vodka to keep the mixture cold and improve texture.
- For easy serving, use disposable shot cups or reusable small glass containers.
- Make sure the jello is completely dissolved before adding vodka to avoid graininess.
- You can prepare these up to one day in advance and store covered in the refrigerator.
- Adjust the sugar on lemon wedges to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
