Caramel Apple Jello Shot

My sister found caramel vodka at the liquor store last week, and we’ve been tinkering around with the stuff. I think you will all enjoy the Jello shot we’ve come up with. Please give us feed back on the Jello shot recipe posted below as it is the first of hopefully a series of Jello shot recipes to come in the near future utilizing this liquor. If you would like to see us add certain types of jello shots please take the time to post in the comments section below. We are looking to make this the pinnacle of all mixed drink recipe sites.

1 6 oz box green apple Jello
1 cup boiling water
1 cup Vincent Van Gogh caramel vodka
1/2 cup apple pucker
3/4 cup cream soda
3/4 cup apple juice

Purple Nerd Jello Shot Recipe

I haven’t posted any Jello shot recipes for a while, and I”ll probably get my front door kicked in by Ooompa Loompas in jack boots for posting something called a nerd on here. (Willy Wonka has the name snaked up for his candies) but, this jello shot recipe tastes just like them so here it is. I first saw this as a drink served in a pint glass. I fiddled with the recipe a little and turned it into a shot because a big glass of this is just too much of it at once. The shot has blue caracao in it cuz blue and red make purple. Since I’m making the Jello shot out of grape Jello, it will already be purple so we won’t be needing that here.

1 6 oz. box grape Jello
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup 3 olives grape vodka
1/2 cup apple pucker
1/2 cup watermelon pucker
1 1/4 cup cranberry juice

Remember, like all of the jello shot recipes that I post here, you need to make sure you get all of the jello dissolved fully before you start adding cold liquids, and enjoy

Chocolate Covered Cherry Jello Shot

Might be a little early for this because the chocolate covered cherries don’t really get popular until closer to Christmas, but I’m putting it up anyway. One of the bars I used to work at had me making Jello shots every week, and this was one of the best selling that I thought up.

1 6oz box Cherry Jello
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup 3 Olives Chocolate Vodka
1/4 cup Dark Creme De Cacao
1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish cream
1 3/4 cup cold water

Completely dissolve Jello powder in boiling water. Add vodka, creme de cacao, irish cream and cold water. Mix well and pour in to 2oz portion cups and refrigerate 3-4 hours.

Cherry Bomb Jello Shot Recipe

Cherry bombs have been pretty popular lately, and until a couple weeks ago I had no Jello shot recipes with Red Bull in them. I posted the Vitamin C a couple days ago, and here’s a new one.

1 6 oz box Cherry Jello

1 cup boiling water

1 ½ cups 3 Olives Cherry Vodka

1 ½ cups Red Bull

Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add vodka and Red Bull.  Stir until well mixed. Portion and refrigerate 2-3 hours.  Enjoy.

Vitamin C Jello shot recipe

This is also called a Tic Tac, and I’ll tell you why I know the other name.  I went to a bar and ordered a Vitamin C … the bartender looked at me like I had some kind of mental disorder. I proceeded to tell her what was  in it and she screamed at me “That’s called a Tic Tac” After she poured it, I paid for it and took all of my change and said “That’s called not getting tipped for being such a bitch.” Here’s the Jello shot version of the recipe.

1 6 oz box orange Jello

1 cup boiling water

1 ½  cups Absolut mandarin(cheaper orange vodka works, but mandarin tastes the best)

1 can Red Bull (small one)

½ cup orange juice

Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water.  Add the vodka, Red Bull, and orange juice and stir gently with a serving spoon until well mixed.  Pour into 2 oz plastic  portion cups.  Chill 2-3 hours and enjoy.

Raspberry Watermelon Jello Shot and Martini

Here’s something different, it’s a Jello shot recipe that got turned into a martini. Pretty cool, huh? I was making a batch of Jello shots for a bar I was working at, pretty early in my creative process. I tried a few of the shots when I got off work, and decided it needed to be a drink. I tried out the drink on the rocks first, but it wasn’t quite right, so I chilled it and put it in a martini glass. Drink or Jello shot recipe first? Don’t know what I’m asking you for you won’t be able to answer until after this is posted, so I’ll list them in the order I invented them in.

1 6oz box raspberry Jello
1 cup boiling water
1 cup Absolut Raspberry Vodka
¾ cup Watermelon Pucker
¼ cup Chambord
½ cup cranberry juice
½ cup sweet and sour mix

Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add vodka, Pucker, Chambord, cranberry and sweet and sour. Stir gently with a serving spoon until well mixed, but stop before you get air bubbles in it. Pour Jello into 2 oz portion cups, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until they set up. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, here’s the recipe for the martini I turned this into.

1 shot Absolut raspberry
¾ shot watermelon pucker
½ shot Chambord
splash cranberry
splash sweet and sour

Pour all ingredients into a shaker full of ice. Shake the hell out of it until the shaker is almost too cold to hold on to anymore, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish by dropping a fresh raspberry in the bottom of the glass and put a small wedge of watermelon on the rim of the glass. This drink smells fantastic if you use Absolut. I think it tastes a little better with Raspberry Stoli, but the nose part of the experience suffers greatly. 

My sister had a kick ass idea while we were making the video for this, and I think she changed the recipe.  Instead of a 6 oz box of raspberry jello, use 1 3 oz box of raspberry and 1 3 oz box of watermelon.

Cherry Cheesecake Jello Shot

This one is my last roommate’s favorite Jello shot I ever made up. It’s called a cherry cheesecake. It’s quite tasty, and the Bailey’s in it changes the texture of the Jello making it a little more interesting than your run of the mill Jello shots.

1 6 oz. box cherry Jello
1 cup boiling water
1¼ cups Smirnoff vanilla twist vodka
¾ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 cup cranberry juice

Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add the vodka and cranberry juice and stir until well mixed with a large serving spoon. Let the mixture cool closer to room temperature for 10 minutes or so. I added the Bailey’s when the Jello was still kind of hot the first time I made these, and it curdled. Add the Bailey’s and pour the mix into 2 oz. portion cups with a pitcher, or measuring cup. My favorite measuring cup for this is one of those that is used for separating the floating grease from chicken stock. The pour spout comes out of the bottom of the cup, I don’t seem to spill as much with them. You can actually use a wire whip to stir these if you want to cuz the Bailey’s is going to make bubbles in the Jello no matter what you do. Still no cooking spray in the portion cups. It’s Jello, it’s not supposed to be greasy. It’s not that hard to get the shot out of the cup with your tongue. If you do have trouble with it you need the practice anyway. Enjoy the Jello, there will be more later.
