Notes
Tips:
- Do not garnish if storing in the fridge. Only garnish when ready to serve.
- If you would like to make these ahead of time, you’ll want to place the lids on them and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days in advance. Do not freeze.
- Do not fill these all the way to the top if you are planning on storing them in the fridge as the lid will make little divots in the top of the jello, which makes it look bad.
- You can use flavored vodka, if you prefer.
