Delicious Coconut Vodka Jello Shots

I love a good Jello Shot, but these Coconut Vodka Jello Shots are GREAT! You’ll wish you tried them sooner!

Jello Shots are not the first thing that I think about, but when I see them, I have to have them! There is nothing more exciting than a Jello Shot at a party when celebrating a happy occasion. Jello Shots come in all types of flavors and colors. I make these Coconut Vodka Jello Shots with Coconut Vodka, Cream of Coconut, and sweetened condensed milk so they are white in color.

Ingredients that you’ll need to make Coconut Vodka Jello Shots

You’ll need a coconut flavored Vodka. I’ve found that Veil Vodka is a good, ‘flavored’ vodka. I actually use it for my NCAA Jello Shot recipes that come in Chocolate, Gingerbread, Whipped Cream, Caramel, Coconut and many other flavors of Vodka.

In order to make Jello Shots that are not ‘fruit flavored’ you have to use Gelatin instead. Gelatin is not difficult to work with and the amazing thing about Gelatin is that you can make any of your favorite cocktails into a Jello Shot. I just love these Coconut Jello Shots.

Pour the Vodka in a spouted pitcher and sprinkle the Gelatin on the top of the mixture. It will start to thicken, so let sit for 5 minutes. Pour the boiling water into the Gelatin mixture. Stir about 3 minutes until the Gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the cream of coconut and the sweetened condensed milk.

Fill the Jello Shot cups 3/4 full with the Coconut Jello Shot mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours before adding the top.

There are two types of Jello-Shot cups that I like using, the short round 2 oz Jello-Shot cups and the taller squeezable Jello-Shot cups. Both work well, but they each have their best uses. See my Tips & Tricks page to find out why.

Notes

Gelatin can be a little tricky to work with the first time you use it in a recipe. The secret is to ‘slowly‘ sprinkle the gelatin on top of the liquid. If you see that it is clumping up, then you are sprinkling to quickly. This feels like the longest process in this entire recipe. If you do have some dry patches, don’t worry, make sure your water is boiling before adding it to the gelatin mixture and stir until the clumps are dissolved.
