Peppermint Jello Shots Ingredients

• Whipped Cream Vodka
• RumChata Peppermint Bark
• Gelatine
• Sweetened Condensed Milk

For flavored vodkas, I like both Veil and Pinnacle; they are both reasonably priced. The star of the show, RumChata Peppermint Bark, provides the refreshing peppermint flavor that gives these shots their signature taste.

Bar and 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 large mouth mixing bowl with a spout. The largemouth mixing bowl with a spout makes it easy to pour the liquid into the Jello Shot cups. 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 a gadget.

How to make Peppermint Jello Shots

Place 16 Jello Shot cups on a baking sheet.

Gelatin can be tricky to work with the first time you use it in a recipe. Pour the Whipped Cream Vodka and Peppermint Bark RumChata into the spouted mixing bowl, and sprinkle the gelatin on top. The secret is to ‘slowly’ sprinkle the gelatin on top of the liquid. If you see the gelatin clump up, you spread it too quickly.

Let the gelatin mixture sit for 5 minutes. If you do have some dry patches, don’t worry. These Jello Shots will taste so good nobody will care that some gelatin didn’t dissolve.

In the meantime, bring the water to a boil. Add the boiling water to the gelatin mixture and stir for 3 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined well. Slowly pour the mixture into your Jello Shot cups and refrigerate for 2 hours before placing the lids on the Jello Shot cups.

You can make these Jello Shots 2 days in advance and refrigerate them until ready to serve. Add mini candy canes to the top just before serving, optional.

Peppermint Jello Shots are a delightful addition to any party or celebration. They offer a refreshing and minty flavor that’s perfect for various occasions.

Enjoy them responsibly and savor the fun and delicious experience they bring to your gatherings. Cheers to a cool and memorable time with Peppermint Jello Shots!
