Notes
Tips
Jello Shot consistency is a matter of personal preference. This recipe will make firm and wiggly Jello Shots. If you prefer a softer, more jiggly Jello Shot, add 1 additional ounce of liquor and 1 extra ounce of water.
If you want a darker color, add a tablespoon of hot water and 1/4 teaspoon of gel food coloring to a small bowl and stir until combined. Then, add the food coloring mixture to your gelatin mixture and mix well.
