Vodka Jello Shots

Vodka Jello Shots

Since Vodka is considered flavorless and has a higher Alcohol By Volume (ABV) or Proof it tends to be the most popular liquor to use in jello shots. Vodka jello shots can be made in numerous ways. These include the quick and dirty method, were you substitute Vodka for some portion of the cold water when preparing jello. The second method is to maximize the quality of the flavor of your Vodka jello shots. This is accomplished by developing a Vodka jello shot recipe that mimics mixed drinks. Here at DailyDrinker.com we focus heavily on the second method.

How To Make Vodka Jello Shots

As was stated in the first paragraph there is more than one way to go about preparing jello shots with Vodka. We will have two sections the first being how to make quick and easy Vodka jello shots and the second section will be about how to make gourmet Vodka jello shots. Our hope is to meet everyone’s needs without wasting the others time. Just look for the heading that matches the route you would to participate in.

The Quick And Easy Way To Make Jello Shots With Vodka

For One 6oz box of Jell-O (Makes 18-20 shots)
1. Heat 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.
2. Add your favorite flavor of Jell-O to the boiling water in a clear bowl (use clear bowl to easly note when all Jell-O is dissoved).
3. Once all Jell-O is dissolved measure between ¾ of a cup (6oz) and 3 cups (24oz) of Vodka and pour it into the Jell-O and water mixture (less than 6oz is too weak more than 24oz will not set up).
4. Add cold water in an amount that makes the amount of Vodka you added and the water add up to 3 cups (24oz) of total fluid.
5. Add 1 teaspoon of flax seed oil. This will help the jello shots slide right out of the 2oz plastic portion cups with little coaxing needed. (Any of our recipes requiring that lemon or lime peel be muddled allows you to skip this step)
6. Stir all contents of bowl well.
7. Poor contents of bowl into 2oz plastic portion cups.
8. Once you have filled portion cups, place lids on them.
9. Then, put your Vodka and Jell-O filled cups into the fridge to allow them to set up. This usually takes 4-6 hours, but can be sped up some by using ice cubes in the cold water.

How To Make Gourmet Vodka Jello Shots

Most of the steps in making gourmet jello shots with Vodka are similar to those noted in the quick and easy version. All of the differences in preparing gourmet jello shot recipes is in planning out the recipe and then preparing the recipe. This adds one major step and then several mini steps that could be classified as one. When making gourmet Vodka jello shots replace the above directions with those points noted below.
1. The first step should be planning out your recipe. You do this by looking at a cocktail recipe and dividing the 3 cups of cold water into percentages of the components of a mixed drink recipe. So if it required 1 shot of mixer, ½ shot of Vodka and ½ shot of pucker then you would have 1 and ½ cups of mixer, ¾ cup of Vodka, and ¾ of a cup of pucker.
Then you would replace step 3 with the directions on how to prepare the mixture of liquors and mixers suggested by the mixed drinks recipe. Other than that you would follow the directions given in the quick and easy version of making jello shots with Vodka.

How To Make Purple Nerd Jello Shots

This video is a how to video on making vodka jello shots via the Purple Nerd jello shot recipe.

Green Managuinse Jello Shot Recipe

This is a Jello shot recipe based on a drink that I made up when I had a really cool fish tank at home. It doesn’t taste like fish, it’s named after the meanest fish that I had in the tank at the time. The drink recipe has everything green in it that I could get my hands on while I was behind the bar. It is very strong on the apple flavors and easily makes the transition from drink to Jello shot.

1 6 oz box green apple Jello
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka
1/2 cup Midori Melon Liquer
1/2 cup Apple Pucker
1/2 cup Rose’s Lime Juice
1 cup Mountain Dew

Mandarin and Tonic Jello Shot Recipe

Vodka Jello Shot Recipe: Mandarin and Tonic

This falls in the category of Jello shot recipes I came up with for me. Tonic water is an aquired taste. If you don’t like tonic, don’t waste your liquor on this Jello shot recipe. I have sent back countless numbers of drinks when I wanted vodka and soda and either the person who ordered the drink for me ordered wrong or the bartender hit the wrong button on the mixer gun. One time the bar was too busy to give the drink back so I drank it. By the end of the night I was won over to the tonic flavor. I decided I needed to make this drink into a Jello shot just so the next time I bring a bunch of Jello shots to a party I’ll have my own private stash.

1 cup orange Jello
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups Absolut Mandarin Vodka
1 1/2 cups Tonic Water

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

Sex on the Beach Jello Shot

I had a request in my comments yesterday for a sex on the beach Jello shot. Just so happens I have a recipe for that. I just found out that the manufacturers of Jello are now making Cranberry Jello. Cranberry Jello could make an excellent substitute for the Orange Jello included in this Jello shot recipe. Have fun experimenting and come back and let us know how you liked the Jello shot recipes and which one tastes better.

1 6 oz box orange jello
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup vodka
1/2 cup peach schnapps
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup cranberry juice

Completely dissolve Jello powder in boiling water. Add all the liquor and juice. Stir well and put into 2 oz portion cups. Refrigerate 3-4 hours, 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 Coke Jello Shot Recipe

It’s been a few days since I posted hope you guys haven’t missed me too much.  Today I’m putting up a Jello shot recipe with one of my favorite alcohols in it…Three Olives Cherry Vodka.  I can drink gallons of this stuff, and it makes fantastic Jello shots.  Here is the recipe for cherry coke Jello shots.

 

1 6 oz box Cherry Jello

1 cup boiling water

1 ½ cups Three Olives Cherry Vodka

1 ½ cups Coke or Pepsi

 

Dissolve Jello in boiling water.  Add vodka and Coke.  Stir gently until well mixed and pour into 2 oz plastic portion cups.  Refrigerate 2-3 hours until set, and then eat in such large quantities that you wake up with a massive headache the next morning.

Peach Tea Jello Shot Recipe

Here is a Jello shot recipe for a peach tea.  It’s a variation of the Long Island Iced Tea. I think Snapple Peach Iced Tea is one of the finest non alcoholic concoctions on earth.  I was drinking one at work one day and someone asked me for a drink as strong as a Long Island but tasted better.   I looked at my Snapple bottle and thought “hmm I bet this would taste better.” So I made a long island and replaced the triple sec with peach schnapps. It kicked ass. She loved it and I got a bunch of people hooked on them.  I don’t know if I invented this drink, but I had never seen it before that day, and if I order it at a bar the bartender usually looks at me like I have a turd sitting on top of my head. Here’s the Jello shot recipe, hope you like it.

 

1 6 oz box peach Jello

1 cup boiling water

¼ cup vodka

¼ cup rum

¼ cup gin

¼ cup tequila

¼ cup peach schnapps

1 cup sweet and sour mix

¾ cup coke or pepsi

Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water. Add the vodka, rum, gin, tequila, and peach schnapps. Stir until well mixed. Add the sour mix and coke. Stir some more, but not too much so as not to pop all the bubbles in the coke. Pour into 2 oz plastic portion cups and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set up. Enjoy.
