Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ingredients In Jello Shots
Here’s what you need to make these blue gummy bear jello shots: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Blue Gelatine Powder: Berry Blue Jello is the perfect color to look like a swimming pool, but any type of blue instant gelatin will work. Look for blue raspberry in a different brand if you can’t find the Jello Berry Blue. Vodka: I’m using Tito’s vodka to make jello shots here, but any brand can work. I suggest using higher-quality vodka to make jello shots since you will be able to taste it. Water: Put water on the stove to boil. Before adding the vodka to these shots we’ll use boiling water to dissolve the gelatin and sugar in the Jello powder.Gummy Bears: Use your favorites, in any colors that you like! You’ll need about 32 of them to add a swimmer to each little pool. Peach Rings: Peachy rings are the perfect size to hold a gummy bear like a miniature pool float. You can find these in other flavors too like apple or watermelon. Jello Shot Cups: Look for plastic portion cups at your grocery store, or order them online.
How To Make Jello Shots
Recipe Tips
Other Fun Details: Use crushed graham crackers to look like sand around your watery scene, or make beach towels out of chewy rainbow candy strips. Make it Simple: Feel free to skip the gummy garnishes. These jello shots will still be a hit without the extra decoration. Change the Flavor: Look for flavored vodkas from Smirnoff or Skyy to give your blue jello shots a unique twist. Reduce the Alcohol: To make these shots a bit weaker, reduce the amount of alcohol to just 1 cup, and replace the other cup with 1 cup of cold water or juice.
Storing Tips
You can store jello shots (without the gummies on top) for up to 2 days. Be sure to keep them covered and refrigerated.
