Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further.

Here is an awesome product to help YOU make the most incredible drinks. Impress your family and friends and be the BEST Cocktail Barista in your neighborhood.

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

Bar & Kitchen Tools

To make your Jello Shots, you’ll need Jello Shot cups. Click here to learn the differences between the 3 different styles of Jello Shot cups. I use the squeezable Jello Shot cups, the flat round Jello Shot cups above, and the square Jello Shot cups.

The second most important item is a spouted mixing bowl with a handle. This bowl makes pouring the liquid into the Jello Shot cups easy. I have seen ‘tools’ on Amazon that assist you with filling your Jello Shot cups, but the bowl with the spout works well. Of course, you may have a few drips here and there, but I need more to invest in one of those tools.

How to make Espresso Martini Jello Shots

First, place 16 Jello Shot cups on a baking sheet.

Pour the Vodka and Kahlua into the spouted mixing bowl and sprinkle the Gelatin on top. Gelatin can be tricky to work with when using it the first time. The secret is to ‘slowly’ sprinkle the Gelatin on top of the liquid. If you see it clumping up, you are spreading it too quickly.

Let the gelatin mixture sit for 7 minutes. If you do have some dry patches, don’t worry; ensure your water is boiling for the next step.

In the meantime, simmer the water. 

Then, pour the water into the gelatin mixture and stir for 3 minutes until combined well.

Now add the espresso powder and simple syrup and stir until combined.

Slowly pour the mixture into your Jello Shot cups until they are 3/4 full.

Refrigerate for 2 hours before placing the lids on the cups. Jello Shots can be made 2 days in advance and kept refrigerated.

Optional Garnish

Garnish each Jello Shot with a chocolate-covered espresso bean for an elegant touch. Serve and watch them disappear!

Espresso Martini Jello Shots are a delightful blend of sophistication and fun. They combine the rich flavors of an espresso martini with the playful nature of Jello Shots, making them the perfect party treat. Easy to make and sure to impress, these Jello Shots will be the star of your next event. Get ready to wow your guests with this unique and delicious creation. Cheers!

Halloween Parties are not Complete without the Jello Shot Syringe!

Jello Shot syringes add a thrilling and eerie vibe to Halloween parties, creating a sense of playful mischief as guests “inject” their Jello Shots. Their dramatic presentation and spooky colors perfectly complement the chilling theme, making them a fun and memorable addition to any ghoulish gathering.

The red syringes are filled with the blood-red Jello Shot recipe, and the black syringes are filled with this Espresso Martini Jello Shot recipe. To adjust the Espresso Martini Jello Shot recipe, add 1/2 teaspoon of black gel food coloring to the simmering water before adding the water to the gelatin mixture. Instead of Jello Shot cups, fill syringes with the Espresso Martini gelatin mix.

Whether hosting a full-blown Halloween bash or a small gathering, these creepy concoctions will make your event memorable. So, gather your ingredients, unleash your inner mad scientist, and get ready to serve up some frightfully fun Jello Shots this Halloween. Cheers!
