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!
