Ingredients
-
1 (3 oz / 85g) box lime-flavored Jell-O
-
1 cup boiling water
-
½ cup cold lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
-
½ cup vodka (plain, citrus, or lime-flavored)
-
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons sour apple schnapps (for extra tartness)
-
Garnishes (choose one or mix it up!):
-
Thin lime slices
-
Gummy candy (rings, worms, bears)
-
Sour sugar or citric acid crystals for rimming
-
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk the lime Jell-O powder into 1 cup of boiling water for about 2 minutes, until fully dissolved.
-
Let the mixture cool slightly (around 5 minutes), then stir in ½ cup cold lemon-lime soda and ½ cup vodka. If using, add 1–2 tablespoons of sour apple schnapps here.
-
Carefully pour the mixture into 2 oz plastic shot cups or mini dessert cups, filling about ¾ full. A funnel or measuring cup with a spout helps keep it neat!
-
Place the filled cups on a tray and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.
-
Just before serving, garnish with lime slices, gummies, or rim the edges with sour sugar for that extra pop!
Notes
-
For best results, chill your soda and vodka before mixing—it helps the shots set faster and keeps the texture smooth.
-
Want to make a non-alcoholic version? Just swap the vodka with more soda or white grape juice for a fun kid-friendly twist.
-
These shots keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cover with lids or plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
-
Feeling creative? Try different Jell-O flavors or flavored vodkas to match your party theme. Green apple Jell-O with caramel vodka? Yes please!

These pair so well with other fun shots like Harley Quinn Inspired Shots, Root Beer Float Shots, or Cherry Rose Mudslide Shots. Create a full Jello Shot Bar and watch them disappear!
