PURPLE JELLO SHOTS FOR HALLOWEEN

Oh, this purple stuff is yum! I used sour berry liqueur and it pairs perfectly with grape jello. The liqueur has a sweet, tangy and delicious flavor that mixes great with the jello. You can also try out raspberry liqueur, or blueberry liqueur. These shots are the perfect boozy treat for Halloween adult party. Although they look so fun, adults will love them. These liqueur jello shots are easy to make and sure to be a huge hit. I wouldn’t have imagined that you can also use popping bobbas for your Halloween shots and then the idea was born. These shots look like little zombie brains and that couldn’t be more convenient for a creepy Halloween party.

  • They taste so good! The combination of grape jello, sour berry liqueur and popping bobas is insanely good!
  • You’ll have the most unique and creepy looking Halloween jello shots you’ll ever find. The bobas give a very spooky look for your shots.
  • Kids will obsess over them. I really think that these are the most attractive and creepy looking Halloween jello shots that adults will love too.

INGREDIENTS NOTES

1 BOX Grape Jello Mix – this is the base for jello shots and can’t be substituted.

2 CUPS Grape or Blueberry Purple Popping Boba – any purple flavor will work fine. We used blueberry popping bobas.

1 1/2 CUP Sour Berry Liqueur – or raspberry liquer. You can also go alcohol-free and making shots kid-friendly by substituting vodka with grape soda.

Jello Shots Cups 

1 CUP EACH Cold & Boiling Water 

Googly Candy Eyes (optional)

HOW TO MAKE ZOMBIE JELLO SHOTS

  • Place the plastic shot cups in a pan or baking dish so that they are easy to transfer to and from the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl, combine the purple jello mix and 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk for 2 minutes, or until the jello is fully dissolved. Whisk in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of liqueur.
  • Carefully pour the jello mixture into the plastic cups, filling them each just less than full.
  • Chill in the refrigerator until the jello has set, about 2-3 hours. (The minimum time is 1 hour)
  • When ready to serve, scoop 1 tablespoon of the purple blueberry popping boba on top of the jello shots and two googly eyes for each of the shots.
