FAQs

What alcohol is best for jello shots?

In most classic jello shot recipes, vodka is the alcohol of choice as it does well in taking on the flavor of the jello. Flavored vodka is also a popular option.

But other spirits like whiskey, tequila, and gin can also be used to make jello shots. Just be sure you’re taking the flavor combinations into account when using other liquors, as they may have more distinct tastes that should match well with the jello flavors in question.

Can you get drunk on jello shots?

Of course, there’s alcohol in them! Don’t be fooled by the caramel and the gummy candy, they’re still shots.

It may take more jello shots than true shots of alcohol to have a strong effect, but it can easily sneak up on you. Just be aware and enjoy these fall jello shots responsibly.

Can you make jello shots the night before?

Yes, you can make your jello shots up to a couple of days ahead of time. For these caramel apple jello shots, I recommend holding off on the caramel layer and gummy apple candy until you’re just about ready to serve.

The jello layer itself can be prepared and left to set in the fridge up to 5 days before you want to serve them.

Will jello shots set faster in the freezer?

They won’t set any faster, and freezing jello can actually lead to an annoying layer of frost or even freezer burn. Let them set in the fridge and make sure you give them plenty of time to solidify.

Why is my jello rubbery?

This is likely due to rushing through the process. Make sure the water comes to a real, full boil, and ensure that all of the gelatin powder properly dissolves and is well incorporated throughout the shots.

If you follow the directions carefully, your jello shots should turn out perfectly every time!

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• For even more fall flavor, make these into Fireball caramel apple jello shots by adding Fireball whiskey. You can use this instead of the Crown Royal, or do a half and half split. Adding too much alcohol to the mixture will make it so the jello doesn’t properly set.
• Other liquors that would be good to substitute are apple or caramel flavored vodka and sour apple pucker.
• These can also be prepared in a glass shot glass, but when you’re making lots of them ahead of time, it’s typically easier to use disposable plastic cups.
• Add a dash of lemon juice for a burst of sour citrus flavor in the jello.
• Garnish with a slice of green apple.
