These Holiday Jell-O shots are an easy, festive and fun alternative to a drink recipe. Colorful, flavorful and perfect for your adult holiday gatherings!
First, make sure you have plenty of room in your refrigerator to place a large tray of Jell-O Shots. On a large tray set out all the shot cups and set aside.
In a large measuring cup with a spout (or a mixing bowl with a spout) add 1 cup of boiling water and the lime green Jell-O. Whisk until all Jell-O is dissolved. Next, whisk in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka.
Carefully pour the mixture into the cups about halfway up. Carefully place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until that layer is mostly set.
While the first layer is setting, make the cranberry red Jell-O the same way as you did the lime green Jell-O. Mix the cranberry Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved then add in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka.
Once the lime Jell-O layer is set, carefully pour the lime Jell-O on top in all the cups. Place the tray back in the refrigerator for about 30 more minutes or until they are fully set.
When ready to serve, top each cup with a squirt of whipped cream and holiday sprinkles then serve.
Notes
You can use any red Jell-O for this recipe.
Cranberry Jell-O is seasonal but you should be able to be found next to the other Jell-O at the grocery store.
You can use 1 or 2 ounce plastic cups for these. I used 1 ounce cups for this recipe. If you use 2 ounce cups you will have less shots.
These can be made non-alcoholic by swapping out the vodka for water.
You can layer whatever way you like. I did a mix of some with green on the bottom and some with red on the bottom.
