RECIPE FAQ’S

How Much Alcohol Can You Put In Jello Shots?

For this recipe, you will need 1/2 cups of vodka to make 10 jello shots. This is the right amount so the jello sets up correctly. If you add too much alcohol, the jello shots will not set. According to these measurements, you can make 20 jello shots with 1 cup of vodka.

Do You Have To Keep Jello Shots Refrigerated?

Yes! Absolutely. You need to keep them refrigerated. You can’t freeze them because gelatine doesn’t really freeze well, but you need to keep them cool so the jello stays firm.

Can You Use A Different Jello Flavor?

If you want to keep them as they originally were meant to – as Vampire Blood Jello Shots – , I would suggest using any red colored and flavored jello. Such as, strawberry, cranberry, raspberry flavor, or cherry one.
