FAQs, Tips, and Tricks

The Best Pool Party Jello Shots Recipe For The Summer
  • For best results, use high-quality vodka. If you prefer, you can substitute regular vodka with flavored vodka, Malibu rum for a tropical flavor, or even tequila for Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots.
  • You can also experiment with different flavors of Jello. Tropical flavors like pineapple, orange, or watermelon make perfect Jello Shots for summer parties. Don’t forget to try out Pina Colada Jello Shots or Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots.
  • How much alcohol should I use? A rule of thumb is to replace the cold water part of the recipe with your chosen spirit. So, if your recipe calls for 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold water, you’d use 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of vodka.
  • Use disposable cups for easy cleanup. You can also use silicone molds for fun shapes.
  • How long before my party should I make my Jello Shots? Jello Shots need time to set, so make them the night before your party for best results.
  • Can kids or non-drinkers enjoy Jello Shots? Absolutely! For non-alcoholic Jello Shots, simply replace the vodka with cold water.
