FAQs

How much alcohol do you put in jello shots?

Depending on the type of alcohol, the amount varies. A general rule of thumb is to use approximately 1/3 of an ounce of alcohol per shot.

This recipe ups the amount of alcohol so it’s closer to 2/3 ounces of alcohol per shot, but this means it will still take about 2 jello shots to equal one regular shot.

Adding any more alcohol than this can make it so the jello doesn’t set properly. Start with the set amount and increase in increments if you want to experiment with adjusting the recipe!

What is the best alcohol to put in jello shots?

Vodka is the classic since the flavor tends to be unobtrusive and lets the flavor of the jello take the reins. For these green apple jello shots, an apple flavored whiskey works well to highlight the apple flavor.

In other cases, you can also try gin, tequila, or rum.

How long do jello shots take to set?

While the mixing and pouring step will only take you 5-10 minutes, you should give your shots at least 2-3 hours to set up and get firm enough to enjoy.

How do you take a jello shot?

The best way to loosen the shot from the cup is to give it a squeeze and a little shake. If that doesn’t work, run a finger (a pinky usually works) around the edge of the gelatin to loosen it. Then simply throw it back and enjoy!

Just be aware that the apple rings will require some chewing, while a typical jello shot may just need to be swished around for a moment before swallowing.

 

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• Many jello shot recipes call for a dollop of whipped cream to add some sweetness. If you don’t want to add the apple rings, this is a great way to make them a bit sweeter.
• You can also turn these into caramel apple shots by adding a bit of whipped cream and a light drizzle of caramel syrup. These are particularly good in the autumn months!
• Crown Royal Apple gives these shots rich notes of apple, caramel, and warm spice that makes them perfect for the fall. If you want something lighter and heavier on the apple flavor, you could use an apple liqueur like Apple Pucker. This will result in a more sour and appley shot.
