Espresso Martini Jello Shots
If you’re looking for a kick start to your evening, try these Espresso Martini Jello Shots made with Vodka & Kahlua.
To make the Espresso Martini Jello Shots pour the Vodka, Kahlua, coffee and simple syrup into a spouted mixing bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on the top. 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 it too quickly. This is the longest process in this entire recipe. If you do have some dry patches, don’t worry.
Let the gelatin mixture sit for 5 minutes. In the meantime, make sure your water is boiling. Add the boiling water to the gelatin mixture and stir for 3 minutes.
Pour the Espresso Martini mix into the Jello Shot cups until they are 3/4 full. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before placing the cap on the Jello Shot cups. Serve Chilled. Can be made 2 days in advance.
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.
