Servings: 10 2-Ounce Jello Shots

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Lime Jello 3 ounces
  • 1 Cup Boiling Water
  • Cup Lime Rum or Lime Vodka
  • Whipped Topping optional garnish
  • Fresh Lime Slices/Wedges optional garnish

Items Needed

  • 10 2-Ounce Shot Cups with Lids

Instructions

  • Line the shot cups up on a small platter, baking sheet, or something similar.
  • Combine the jello and boiling water in a medium mixing bowl and stir until all the jello has dissolved.
  • Add the lime rum (or vodka) and stir.
  • Fill all the shot cups, leaving a small space before the top.
  • Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.
  • Garnish with some whipped topping and a fresh lime wedge, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not garnish if storing. Store the shots with their lids on for up to 4 days. Do not freeze. Garnish when ready to serve.
  • Lime rum or vodka are my favorite options for this recipe. However, you can use whatever alcohol you prefer.
  • Be careful going over recommended alcohol amounts, as too much alcohol can cause the jello shots to not set.
  • I use an Ateco #824 frosting tip and a frosting bag to add the whipped topping to the shots. This simply makes it prettier and isn’t necessary.
